My family and I stayed at Joshua’s place for an extended weekend getaway to Chicago. This was our first time staying in a vacation rental.
First, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This apartment’s location is just north of downtown Chicago, very convenient to the Lake, and tourist attractions. It was also conveniently located to stores, restaurants, etc. The surrounding neighborhood is really nice! We walked our dog around several times per day and felt relatively comfortable. It’s located on a busy street so, there was lots of noise…but, what can you say…it’s the “big city”! We live in a suburban community so. That was a bit of an adjustment for us, especially our dog. The neighbors in one of the other apartments (there is an upstairs and a downstairs unit) were really noisy one evening, playing music and talking loudly on the rear deck. But, it didn’t ruin our stay!
The apartment itself was great! Joshua makes check-in and check out very easy. The place is very nicely decorated and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Joshua was in contact with us throughout our trip, sending gentle reminders through the App. I only had to contact him once for extra towels and he brought them over immediately. You can tell he takes pride in his unit and being a great host! I was impressed.
Parking is generally on the street and even though there was a lot of traffic, we had no problems finding a space in front of the apartment building or near by at any time of the day or night.
I would highly recommend Joshua and his unit and will very likely return for another stay since we like to visit the city throughout the year!
