This property is just an outstanding place to stay when visiting Chicago. The place was sparkling clean and the layout is very interesting. There are stairs to climb and we knew that from the description of the property. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped, and we never ran out of hot water for showers or washing dishes. It was a bit chilly to really take advantage of the outdoor spaces that are available, but in warmer weather, these areas would be an outstanding place to enjoy that morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail. The roof area is quite large and offers a very nice view of downtown Chicago and the steeple of St. Michael's church. That area is quite large and would be an ideal place for an evening meal in warm weather. We did not have an issue finding parking right in front of the unit and Brandy provided all of the parking permits we needed.
The location is great. It's in the area between Old Town and Lincoln Park. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I think it serves as an ideal location for a home base for a Chicago visit. It's convenient to getting to downtown and Wrigley field. The Old Town area is within walking distance with its many shops, restaurants and entertainment venues (once this COVID thing is finished!). The evenings there are quiet and relaxing.
I doubt that you will find another host as responsive as Brandy. She provided clear instructions on check in, check out, the amenities, etc. She answered my questions within minutes both in the time leading up to our trip and while we were there. I highly recommend this property!
