We had a great long weekend in Chicago, and Kaushal's property was a part of it. He was communicative before we booked and set reasonable expectations ahead of time. Once we booked, he was very available yet non-intrusive. We really appreciated that.
Check in was super easy. We had perfect instructions for street parking nearby and the code to get in. Though the parking was not reserved, we always got an easy spot.
The location worked well for us. We walked to coffee shops, restaurants, and parks. We also drove all over the city. It was a quiet, beautiful street with lots of trees. The backyard of the property was nice. We got sunshine for half of the day, and it was fairly quiet back there, too.
The TV and Roku worked just fine for watching a little TV. We also used the refrigerator, coffee maker, plates, cutlery, microwave, thermostat, shower, all without issue. Kaushal provided clean towels for us, too.
I would emphasize that this rental is for the first flour of the two story house. There is another rental upstairs, completely separate. The listing says this, but keep in mind that you can hear folks walking above you, and it can be moderately noisy.
There were a couple other small details I noticed, like some missing floor tiles in the back hall, covered by a rug which made for uneven walking, and some chipped molding. Otherwise the property was very clean.
Overall, I would recommend Kaushal's place as a great value and home base for those looking to spend time exploring the city. Thanks for having us, Kaushal!
