DO NOT STAY HERE.
ACCURACY:
NO WASHER AND DRYER
STOP WORK ORDER by the city literally on the front door; because of work being done on the outside and inside of unit NOT TO CODE and WITHOUT PERMITS
OPEN ELECTRIC WIRING - active electric ports uncovered.
NO PARKING SPACE, as stated in listing.
EXTREME GANG VIOLENCE. Our first night there was a violent & loud fight upstairs ( other tenants whom the hosts rented to in the unit above us) they banged on our door for about 20 minutes. They literally threatened to kill each other will we forced to listen downstairs. They had people, at the front of the building and back of the building preventing us from leaving. There was also a shooting one night directly outside of the house.
COMMUNICATION:
Host was supposed to meet on-site day of Chaco-in to assist with identifying garage parking spot.
With 3 partner hosts, one would have expected to quick responses to issues and request. We could not have been more wrong.
Our very last night one of the other tenants parked in our assigned parking space. There was no street parking for 3-4 blocks available. We were leaving at 2 am, and had a child and several elderly people with us.
LOCATION:
There was a shooting while we were there. We were travelling with my grandmother and 8 year old sister who both had drop to the ground and hide under the table.
No mention in the listing about active gang violence. We found out with a quick google search after.
VALUE:
Not worth risking your life, the price seems great for Chicago. I Promise, it’s not worth it. Hosts seemed extremely inexperienced, and ill-equipped to handle even basic requests... literally just what was promised in the listing. We were hoping from previous reviews, it would be great, we thought about leaving but we’re assured by the hosts things would get better. They absolutely got worse. DO NOT STAY HERE.
