Nicole is very responsive and accommodating. The condo is located in an area that is in transition. (Ex: old homes being torn down and rebuilt). My family is from Chicago so I'm well aware of what areas to stay away from and this condo is not one of them. It's still going through a transition so at night, you still want to be smart and stay cautious but during the day you can tell this street is going through a gentrification process. Still a pretty quiet street and ample free side street parking in front of the building. The home is located about 15 mins from downtown which makes for an inexpensive uber/lyft ride.
The condo is very clean! Loved the layout of the furniture. It was a total of 6 guests and everyone was able to move around and sleep comfortably. The beds were also comfortable. Each bed had some kind of memory foam type topping and aided with sore bodies after a day of exploring downtown. Haha
Nice amenities - full size fridge, sink, Keurig, dishes, fast WiFi, and TV with many channels.
The one downside of our stay was that there wasn't a way for us to control the temperature of the condo. I visited during a weekend that Chicago dropped to 40 & 50 degrees at night and walking into the condo with the AC blasting was quite uncomfortable. A thermostat couldn't be found in the condo. I'm guessing you'll be able to message the host to control the temp, however when walking in at 3am, you don't want to be disrespectful and wake the host.
All in all we enjoyed our stay and would def recommend Nicole's place to other large groups.
