This is a great property in an even greater location. The property is on a quiet, beautiful, residential street that is a 5-10 minute walk from great restaurants, the park, the beach, museums, and - most importantly - Second City. If you want to head towards the river/Mag Mile, it's a nice 1-2 mile walk so not bad at all.
The owner was very responsive to my requests and promptly had missing items delivered for us.
The home was clean and had a great kitchen. It also had a very conveniently-located washer/dryer which is key if you're planning to stay more than a couple of days.
Now, some things that were lacking that didn't necessarily taint our experience, but future renters should be aware in case they want to prepare accordingly:
--no full-length mirror
--no body lotion/moisturizer
--no umbrella
--no beach towels
--no bureaus or drawers for your clothes - only hanging closet space
Again, I didn't necessarily count on those items, but now that you know they won't be there, you can pack accordingly when you do rent this property.
Having such a nice property in such a wonderful location made our trip to Chicago that much better. I'd definitely return if the place is available.
