The best thing about the Carriage House in Roscoe Village is the location. It’s a great spot, close to shops, restaurants, and the train. You can easily find entertainment and good food.
As for the house, it has all the essentials to set you up with a good base camp. The first impression for me was underwhelming because it has taken some wear and hasn’t been spruced up to make it a really welcoming environment where you would want to spend time. However, all of the most important amenities are in place, including: air conditioning, WiFi, nice showers, towels, washer/dryer, dishwasher, coffeemaker, and a comfortable mattress on the top floor. My kids seemed to sleep fine on the other beds, which hurt my back.
Overall, it worked out well for us because it was exactly where we wanted to be.
