My wife and I are very picky when we stay at a place. We decided to give this place a try even though there was only one review… Where should we start! Wow, I highly recommended this garden apartment! The unit is very clean, nicely updated, comfy and spacious. You can control your own heat and AC, which is super nice. The neighborhood is quiet, very diverse and parking was easy and free. We felt safe walking around with our kids and had lots of fun at the park a block away. The host replied to our emails promptly. After chatting with him, I understood why this place is so homey. Sidzanbnoma has had to travel a lot for work, so he designed his place with all the comforts of home. There's free shared laundry and you'll find everything (literally everything) you might need in this apartment. You can even host Thanksgiving, since there's a turkey baster and roast pan with a rack, the only thing you will have to do is buy your turkey (lol). The entire place is thoughtfully set up, with comfortable beds, lots of pillows and even a charging station on the nightstands. Check-in and out was extremely easy with the smart lock and it was so nice not to have to keep track of keys. Being at the garden level, you can hear people upstairs, but it wasn't a big deal, as our kids are not super quiet either! This is definitely an excellent deal and we will stay here again next time we visit Chicago. Hopefully we can get a reservation, since it will probably get booked the entire year!
