Alex’s place is so clean, spacious and fully stocked with everything you may need. My questions were answered very quickly and communication was great. My family enjoyed making breakfast in the morning, drinking coffee on the patio and then heading to the beach. We stay in Chicago a lot but never in this area. We got used to the area and found some good places 5 or 6 blocks away. Only things I would add is the beach is not steps away, more like 3 and a half blocks in case another family wanted to rent specifically for the beach. It can be a lot to carry things back and forth. We would come back to Alex’s place again!
