Location, hospitality, great design and sweet treats! We are originally from Chicago and were back for several family events. We rented the unit for eight days. There were four of us, my husband and me and two adult children. First the location could not be better. Mariano's, a beautiful grocery store with restaurants and a bar, is literally right around the corner. We did not rent a car since the city was so accessible either on foot or by taxi, Uber, Lyft . . . .friends or family. There are tons of stores, restaurants, activities and clubs galore in this area.
We arrived a little early and Jeff made it easy for us to access the unit. The property is beautifully decorated. The amenities are first rate. The towels are soft and luxurious, nice toiletries and good TP! Both bathrooms are very nice and the master bathroom has a wonderful separate shower and Jacuzzi style tub. There is fantastic closet space. We actually hung up all of our clothes. The beds and linens are very comfortable. Jeff and Lisa have thought of everything! Flowers, wine, chocolate, fruit a great coffee maker, treats . . . . The kitchen is fully stocked with excellent kitchenware and spices too. We only had breakfast each morning at the property but if you are inclined to cook they have everything you need. We arrived on a particularly hot and humid day. As we were getting out of the car my husband asked me, "This place is air conditioned, right?" Growing up in Chicago, we both grew up in non air-conditioned apartments. I did not think to look when I booked. Thankfully, there was air conditioning and it worked beautifully and without noise. There is a washer and dryer in the unit. Each are easy to use. Do not be scared away by the fact that this rental is on a second floor. I sometimes have hard time with one of my legs and it was very easy gentle access to the second floor. My son had to telecommute the weekdays we were in Chicago. The internet worked fine.
We had such a wonderful time at Jeff and Lisa's. We look forward to renting this unit again next time we are in Chicago. It really doesn't get better than this!
