>>Super honest and detailed review<
This home is beyond cozy and perfect for a family stay. I booked for the price and free parking as im not from Chicago, but heard that parking can be expensive there. I assumed there was a driveway at the home but its street parking instead- not too much of a hassle to find a space.
The master bedroom is huge! Tons of space for luggage, coats etc. There are a few glass decorative pieces that are a great touch to each room but had to moved out of my 2 year olds view.
The other 2 rooms were very spacious and comfortable as well. I did have difficulty with logging on to streaming apps on the bedroom tvs but the living room tv is programed via the master controller (not roku controller).
The basement is big enough to have a separate apartment downstairs. There isnt a TV but cards, board games and a huge ping-pong table provided.
We did not spend time in the backyard but its massive and has potential to have a wicked summer family gathering.
There are plenty of supplies and linen when needed, and tons of utensils and plates. If you plan to do a lot of cooking, you should bring a few pots and pans as there were only 2 large pans and 1 small pot to use- and dont forget to bring seasonings and condiments.
There 1 and only issue we experienced was the front door lock when we tried to leave out for the day. The instructions are that it auto locks after 15 seconds and that is not the case. I failed on 2 separate accounts to verify this issue. When leaving, there is a deadbolt sound to indicate that the lock was turned and then a few beeps after- which should indicate that the door has locked- but this didnt happen. I had to walk back inside, lock the door from inside, walk back out, wait for the beeping again and pull on the door to make sure it locked.
Please please make sure its locked before you leave your belongings inside.
Overall, I will definitely stay here again if we travel back to Chicago.
