The location of this place is amazing. Close to the Sedgwick L, and all the sights of Chicago.
The character of the home is fun and you feel like you are in an old historical home with lots of cool stories!
The beautiful yellow building in the pictures isn’t the place you are renting. It is to the left of that down the sidewalk. Which is fine, but the pictures are confusing.
The water pressure is terrible. It’s a huge home, so that’s great with lots of bathrooms and sinks, laundry dishwasher all the things. But you can only use two water sources at the same time. If you attempt a 3rd no water arrives. Two people showering, no dishes, laundry and dishwasher going no washing hands. So bare that in mind which could be hard when home is full capacity.
The host didn’t really communicate with us. We brought up an issue, and they said they would send someone. We followed up and never heard back. Minor issue, but still communicate the ice maker didn’t work, or the ceiling fan in the main bedroom. We were fine without those things, but when you pay so much for something for a week you expect it to be in full working order.
All in all I’d say there isn’t much for large families in Chicago Airbnb so this is what we went with. Stinks it’s so expensive, but I guess that’s how it goes. You will be happy in this home, but it also didn’t amaze us for the price.
