Pros
- patios on each floor - new carpets and chairs/tables. Nice place to relax as it is shaded!
- beds were all very comfortable
- good amount of seats to dine, both at table and counter
- unit was overall very clean
- besides the one that didn't work, very nice appliances
Cons
- unit is NOT the "Entire Home" as described in the listing. It does not include the basement level with the additional living space, bathroom and bedroom. This is considered the "garden room" and has to be rented separately. If you do not, not only will you only have 3 real bedrooms and 4 beds, but also have other people staying the the same house as you, but also sharing the outdoor spaces
- above the deck (beautiful space with foliage and wonderful lights/seating) was not ready for our stay in June. We were informed of this after we checked in and were unloading bags
- freezer was broken - was told it would be fixed next day and we would receive ice - neither happened
- Locks placed on ALL closets - so no where to hang clothes or place suitcases. This was very strange as there were also locks on some of the kitchen cabinets. Only 1 bedroom had a dresser, so all other guests had to live out of a suitcase
- blinds in primary bedroom broken - not able to be opened or adjusted
- shower on 3rd floor not accessible to anyone older. It is an old, large Jacuzzi tub with a shower head rigged in the middle of the ceiling. This created one less bathroom to actually use and get ready in for large groups.
Overall, it was a very tight space for our group, 10 people and 1 infant, to stay. We had to have people sleep on 3 air mattresses on the top floor - only 1 stayed blown up. There was so much space not accessible, including the top deck and ALL closets, that it made it feel like we paid for space we did not use. I have stayed in several Airbnb's over the years, including several in Chicago, there are definitely better ones out there.
