Great place! The no refund policy was a bit scary, and we did lose money on a 5th guest that had to back out due to Covid-19. Overall though, we had an awesome stay. The neighborhood felt very safe and clean, with lots of eateries and bars within walking distance. Street parking was free and manageable, and we appreciated that reserved parking spot around back off the alleyway as well. We were not too worried about cars getting broken into, though that’s always a risk in a big city.
The unit is up quite a few stairs and looks newly renovated but with an old-timey charm that matches the character of the exterior of the building. The kitchen is spacious as well as the communal areas. The shower pressure was not the strongest, but the bathroom was modern and clean, like the rest of the unit. There’s an extra, indoors sun porch area that leads to the back staircase which would be a cool spot to drink coffee and start your day in the mornings. Professional cleaners come by after each stay, and Jeremiah’s guidebook about the area was very helpful.
Would definitely book here again, especially with a more forgiving cancellation policy. This place was a huge improvement over other places we have stayed in Chicago in the past!
