My family and I stayed for week so we could enjoy the city.
Pros:
-location in a great part of town with several wonderful parks close by. We felt safe walking our child and dogs at night.
-We were always able to find street parking.
-Puppy friendly (every appears to have dogs in this neighborhood and we loved for fur friendly it was)
-the neighbors seemed very nice, we met them a few times when taking the dogs out to the back patio. We only heard them once late at night and for living under someone I would say that’s a win!
- host was nice and easy to work with
-instructions for check-in/out were easy to follow.
-there are plenty of clean towels and washcloths for the week!
Cons:
-Obviously need to drive to any downtown/city activities (not a con of the place it’s self just something you need to plan for if staying here)
-In order to watch anything on TV you really need to log into your own streaming services
-Outdoor patio is shared and is not a clean as pictured (probably just an old photo)
-kitchen was stocked with limited supplies so if you plan to cook some meals in like we did, plan on buying everything needed and there were no baking sheets.
-the bathroom is small, so if coming with a family keep that in mind. The tub had obviously been repainted as an upgrade, but it’s wearing now and the paint is chipping. I didn’t feel comfortable bathing our toddler son in it so to his demise we made him take a shower.
While sometimes inconvenienced, none of these cons made the stay uncomfortable. We enjoyed our time in Bucktown and for the price the accommodations were reasonable.
