We are 63 and 74 year old women who love to travel often. This home was chosen due to location to the city (about 25 mins). Make left onto Western and the train to the city and O'hare was about 1.5 blocks away.
Train downtown was about 20 minutes to the Washington Station - Train to O'hare was about 25 minutes -- Lots of steps to the train platform. If this is your first trip to Chicago be sure to get the metro pass for quick access when you enter a bus or take the train.
The home does have stairs (entering) and a full flight to the bedrooms and laundry area downstairs. (No laundry supplies so be sure to add to your grocery order). If you have small children - the stair opening may be a little dangerous....
Home has been totally updated and is very, very clean. Upstairs is a full bath with Shower (no tub) - Downstairs is a Jack/Jill Bathroom with tub/shower.
Each bedroom has two full size beds (lower platform) Flannel sheets were on the bed and extra comforters provided. Quiet, Quiet, Quiet area. Slept well all 5 nights.
Keyless door entry by code worked well everytime we entered. Quiet and safe neighborhood (we mostly went out during the day). We did Uber after dark from downtown to this home - around $19
Kath is very accommodating...we give 5 full stars for her helpfulness. Coffee was provided. We highly recommend that you arrive - see what is provided before you do a grocery order. Walmart/Grubhub/Doordash service this area.
Television is in the living room is set up for Sling TV - However, we used our own accounts for Netflix, Hulu and Peacock. We set the TV to HDMI 2 - it took a minute and then ROKU would kick in just fine....Give it a minute. Wifi worked great. (BTW - larger remote to operate power/sound -- smaller remote operates the Roku stations)
In October 2021 the construction next door is still going on. I think in a couple of months that building should be completed. But since we left during the day -- the noise did not affect us.
It was mentioned in other posts that Kath has a dog. Yes, it barked a time or two, but for us it made us feel like we were home.... Definitely a nice place to stay and we do recommend because we had NO issues for our 5 night stay.
