We had 7 people sleeping here and 9 people for Thanksgiving dinner. We certainly brought our own turkey roaster, 2 extra folding chairs, and some extra utensils and plates, but with the kids at the coffee table and the rest of us at the dining table, we had plenty of room.
We very much appreciate the pet-friendliness of the place. My husband hadn't seen me or his 2 cats for over a month, and I was so glad I could trek them out to visit. Getting downtown every day was a breeze, and parking was easy, too. You just have to pay attention and maybe set an alarm to move the cars across the street, but being Chicago natives, we were all used to it. Got the spot right in front every time. Having lived in a few Chicago apartments and 2-flats before, I was used to hearing a dog bark, or floorboards squeak, but it's part of the experience. Nothing woke or bothered me, nothing felt intrusive.
The shower was amazing, the beds comfy, and the kitchen the perfect size for our big meal.
10/10 would stay again!
