The place is nice, but small. Ive noticed that small apartments are a normal part of living in Chicago. The place was clean and neat, the instructions were very detailed. The communication was good. However, I felt like it was the host doing us a favor in letting us stay there rather than it being a mutal appreciation. Ex. We had to clean the apartment after we left, turn the thermostat to 70 degrees, was every dish, pick up every piece of trash etc. Were basically the maids as well as guests. Were not messy people at all, it just felt like we were wandering strangers living in a grandmas home rather than paying customers. Also there wqs NO HOT WATER in the shower for the entire stay. Me and my family had to take mildly luke warm showers. We didnt feel as clean. The bathroom was really cold, so imagine taking a mild shower in a freezing bathroom in the fall in Chicago. Also, my son had an allergic reaction to some cat/dog hair that was on the pillows and floors. Wish we wouod have known that Cats/Dogs stayed in the guests rooms.
Besides the tedious rules, lack of Hot water and allergic reaction my son had. These hosts were very professional, courteous and clean.
P.s. knowing that im being checked up on while staying there doesnt put my mind at ease.
