Ashley’s place was actually a nice find for us and it worked out very well.
Check-in was super easy. The locks for the house and the bedroom were keyless with easy to remember access codes. The house itself is older, but I love old houses. This one had quite a bit of character. There was a nice kitchen with baked goods and simple foods such as yoghurt. The sitting room was also nice.
Our bedroom was a bit small (or quaint and cozy, if you will) but the high ceilings made it seem more open. The full prívate bathroom was a nice bonus. It was clean and well appointed with supplies. I don’t really know what the other bedrooms were like. But ours was definitely suitable for our needs.
It did take us a few minutes to realize though that the second bed actually pulled out from under the main bed. Initially we thought it was a box spring. If someone is more full figured or has mobility issues, I would not recommend those beds due to the low height and the configuration (unless you’re only using the one bed and leaving the spare bed tucked underneath the main one). For us it was fine.
The location was excellent for us. It is in Boystown on North Halstead, which was our intended destination. There are many nearby restaurants, bars and business geared toward the LGBTQ community. We did have a bit of a challenge finding parking, but it was relatively late on a Friday night when we checked in. I am also super fussy because my car is brand new. We were able to find a suitable, safe parking structure a five minute walk away though. There are multiple parking lots in the area.
In summary, Ashley’s place is a great find and a good value for the money. I definitely will book it again if I’m lucky enough to find it available when I’m in town. My verdict is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
