How do you begin to describe a home that continues to surprise you? Seriously what a place to stay. But really, from the countless works of art hanging up throughout to the extensive library, each day being here brought a moment of “man, how did I miss this / have I seen this yet?” You’ll be drawn in from the street view of the home then shocked to take the tour inside. As you can tell I can’t say enough.
Roxanna did a lot to make this a home away from home for the four of us in my group. I could only imagine waking up there daily and hanging out on the front porch. And this was only an extended weekend trip but feeling at ease goes a long way.
Two bedrooms both with super comfortable mattresses and pillows. It was a little warm during a couple of the days but by each night felt fine. Theres a window AC in the one room and a huge floor fan that we used in the other, worked out well. Huge classic tub (always a bonus, tubs are underrated). We used some items in the kitchen, which has nearly everything you would need to make meals. The front room/living room has the TV as well as a great stereo and speaker setup to connect your phone to.
Set on a street that maintains both the quiet neighborhood feel and proximity to a ton of exciting stuff. In walking distance of great places to eat, cool bars, CTA bus/train to explore other neighborhoods. Heard good things about staying in the Ukrainian Village and wasn’t let down. Space to park too out front though my group didn’t have a car.
This was my third year in the last four going to Chicago around mid September, which had typically been for Riot Fest. Ended up skipping this year with the pandemic but this rental helped make it a great city trip nonetheless while giving ideas for future. Previously stayed either in the Loop / closer to downtown, won’t be doing that again after this awesome experience. I can’t recommend staying here enough!!
