I could not be more grateful to the owner, Chad, for opening his home to my family over this Thanksgiving weekend. My teenage son is a competitive tennis player and we were in Chicago for a national tournament held at the Midtown Athletic Club just a five-minute drive from Chad's place. (I also highly recommend this club!) We truly felt at home in the space. It was the perfect size for my husband, son and I and we looked forward to decompressing there every night after a long, stressful day at the tournament.
Chad's place was clean and tastefully furnished. The online description and photos represented the space well. The beds were super comfortable and the rain showerhead and soaking tub in the master bedroom was luxurious. The second bathroom has a large washer/dryer that we put to good use. The kitchen had all we needed to warm the Thanksgiving dinner we catered from the nearby Wholefoods. If I had to change anything in the place, the dining table could be better and the closets were a bit cluttered with miscellaneous items that I had to move around to hang clothes. Other than these minor items, the place was perfect.
We also felt very safe in the neighborhood and parking was never a problem. Everything we needed was a either walking distance or a short drive away. I also appreciated that Chad kept in touch to assure that our needs were met. My only regret is that we did not have more time to enjoy the fireplace, outdoor grill and rooftop deck. I will certainly stay at Chad's next time I am in Chicago and highly recommend him as a host!
