The highlights of our stay at Jimmy & Caitlin's place were the GIANT, fully fenced back yard (our pup loved it); the large walk in shower with very hot water/great water pressure; and the impeccable hot tub. The guest suite was super clean and had lots of extra blanket to get cozy in front of the TV with a ton of streaming options. The linens were soft, and there was one off-street parking spot.
A few things to note:
1. The listing says it is for 4 people, but the guest suite is TINY with very little storage (a small closet in the bedroom and one empty shelf in the bathroom, no medicine cabinet/under-sink storage). The closet in the living area is just for the water heater. We had to rearrange the furniture in the living room to make space for our dog's crate. The bedroom closet only fit one person's clothes, and there were no convenient places to for the 2nd suitcase - we had to set it on the floor in front of the closet and step around it. The futon in the living area is comfortable for sitting but would only fit two children or one short adult. Excluding the shower, the bathroom is cramped. Only one person could use the sink/mirror at a time.
2. The guest suite has a kitchenette. The photos show a small refrigerator with a microwave on top of it and bar cart. The bar cart contained a handful of cutlery/dishes/pans, but it could definitely use more of the items that one could reasonably expect when eating take out (plates, silverware, cups, etc). Prep space is taken up with a hot plate, etc, so even getting the dog's food ready was challenging. The only sink is in the bathroom (which doesn't have counter space), making washing dishes awkward.
3. The HVAC was very, very loud throughout the entire space.
4. The handle on the faucet in the shower fell off the first time we touched it. We had to reach into the hole in the wall and turn a little plastic knob with our fingers to use the shower. When I mentioned this to our host, they said it was a known problem but holiday schedules interfered with getting it fixed before our stay.
5. The keypad on the door was malfunctioning. No matter how many times we punched in the code and hit # (as we had done to check in), it would not unlock. Our hosts replied to our panicked message after 30 minutes of being locked out in the cold/rain and attempted to troubleshoot via phone as they were all out of town or otherwise unavailable. Just before a locksmith was called, the keypad finally worked. The hosts said they'd have the keypad repaired or replaced to avoid future issues.
6. The hot tub is in full view of the house/hosts.
7. This neighborhood isn't for anyone looking for a real "big city" Chicago experience. I lived literally 2 blocks away for several years before relocating out of state. It's quiet with beautiful homes, some local restaurants, and quick access to the Blue line and 90/94. However, it's very residential, and getting downtown or to anything near the lake can be time-consuming.
Ultimately, I am sure this would be a great place for a short stay for 1-2 low-maintenance people who plan to be out much of the time, but it wasn't the best fit for us.
