Our trip wasn’t for vacation/holiday, stayed here for a week while we were having work done on our house (we’re local), so we didn’t try to go out sightseeing from this spot but the metra and blue line L trains are very close (maybe 10 min walk) so it’s easy to get downtown.
The good: Overall very nice place. The apt is very big and spacious. It’s 2 bedrooms, but a big 2 bedrooms. Right across the street from Jewel (grocery store) and a 1 minute walk to Starbucks. Street parking is easy. Clean upon arrival. We brought our dog and that went smoothly. First floor entry, very easy to haul luggage etc.
What could be improved upon: We tried to use the garage but the keypad didn’t work (told the host first day and didn’t hear back, luckily street parking is easy). The place smelled a little musty, there’s signs of water damage on the ceiling in a few spot and there’s mold in the washing machine. No cleaning sponge or brush was provided for the dishes (there’s no dishwasher).
