Before booking, ask them to send you current photos of the bathroom. The unit that we stayed in had mold on the wall, paint peeling and blistered above the shower and grime in the shower walls that you don’t ever want to see.
The price charged at the time of our stay was definite price gauging as the Chicago Marathon was taking place over the weekend we were there. This unit rents for as low as $158, but because of the marathon, the price sky rocketed to over $1000 per night.
Regardless of the price, the bathroom shouldn’t be in that condition. The sink drain was covered in mold and grime and we had to remove it in order to get the water to drain.
Not a place for families or couples sharing accommodations. Neither of the bedrooms have proper doors on them. They are barn door style doors which results in the rooms not having privacy, quiet or darkness. One of the rooms had skylights in it - so unless you are an early riser, the room is terrible. The second bedroom has the same barn style doors, and wall that DO NOT extend all way to the ceiling. Basically everyone in the unit needs to go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time.
Another recommendation, bring ear plugs. The unit is beside the train tracks and it is noisy for pretty much 19 hours a day. Not great if you are a light sleeper.
A positive note about the place if you an live with the other issues is that the location is great. It is in walking distance of many amenities, tourist attractions and great dining options.
