Hard to put into words, but our time here was the very definition of a “stay-cation”. As Southport Corridor residents, displaced by some reconstruction work (flooding), we enjoyed all aspects of the home and hospitality provided by Tommy (Fred & Marcey). The home itself is a spectacular layout – main floor ideal for cooking and entertaining, with an entire floor dedicated to sleeping (4 – oversized bedrooms, nearly all with adjoining bathrooms), finally the 3rd floor den/living area/rooftop is the jewel of this stunning space. During our three-week stay we spent almost as much time in the kitchen/family room as we did up on the rooftop taking in the sights of Wrigley, the Chicago Skyline, and in our case – 4th of July fireworks. The rooftop fireplace is a little piece of heaven to the point we almost forgot we were in the city, and it allowed our kids to enjoy s’mores almost nightly as if we were a world away in the woods. Plenty of storage space for your personal items and all the essentials are covered (and then some). To say the house is stocked – is an understatement from Ziploc bags, to paper plates, from kids utensils to every pot and pan imaginable to compliment the high-end appliances and chef-set-up kitchen. Finally the little touches reflect what it means to truly “host” guests. From the detailed welcome packet, to local information and restaurants, a basket of goodies and even the smallest detail – like a custom “welcome” sign. Our family of four was beyond comfortable, in fact we discussed how we could do future Cubs games, holidays or another “stay-cation” here with another family. Bottomline, this Second City property is 2nd to none, and the management was exceptional every step of the AirBnB process. Enjoy your stay…we sure did.
