The good - location is superb, steps from Michigan Ave and five minutes to get to Oak Street Beach. The living room is large and furnished nicely for a group. The block this home is on is stunning.
The bad - this apt wasn't really ready to be rented. The dishwasher didn't work. Water from the only kitchen sink was rusty pink and only came out in a trickle. We ended up with a tiny sink full of unwashable dishes and no way to prepare meals. The kitchen was understocked (no wine opener, no wine glasses). The back door deadbolt didn't work so the door that opens to a fire escape had only an old chain latch for security. The building had several doors with lock codes for residents but those were always left wide open.
Response from the host was slow, and I needed to reach out and clarify the issues more than once but an offer was made to send someone to look at the dishwasher or the door only. I didn't take him up on that as we were leaving in the morning and didn't want to spend our time with a repairman. I would have appreciated at least having someone run over with paper plates and cups etc to make the stay more convenient. Disappointing especially for the price.
