We arrived early for our 2pm check-in, and got lucky to see the housekeeper coming back to complete the cleaning of the unit. We asked if we could store our luggage in the unit while we waited to check-in. We got lucky again when, after contacting host Elisa, we were allowed to check-in and relax as the unit's cleaning was almost complete.

The unit was better than described and located in the heart of the Wrigleyville (Lakeview) area. Plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, and a 15 minute walk to Wrigley Field. Heaven!

The unit was two doors away from a very adequate fitness club (Number One Gym), which will sell you a temporary membership at a very reasonable rate.

We got to meet Jay & Elisa by an unfortunate circumstance. While I was sitting on the edge of their bed in the master bedroom, the wooden planks supporting the box spring and mattress gave way slightly. Not the end of the world, but it did leave the mattress slightly tilted in one direction.

When I expressed my concerns about the bed frame's deteriorating condition, superstars Jay and Elisa, very busy with their jobs, made a cameo appearance. While conversing with me, they were able to break out their tools and repair the bed frame. Bravo!

The WIFI was strong throughout most of the home (a little shaky in the master bedroom and bathroom.)

The one warning is that their unit is on the 3rd floor of a complex without an elevator. The stairs are somewhat steep.
