We stayed at this unit over Thanksgiving week with our 4 grown children. The unit has 4 bedrooms configured well for a family of this size. The unit was very clean and the location was great for us as we had rented a car. It was easy to get to downtown, airports, and the north side of Chicago. There is limited street parking in front of the unit but parking was available behind the unit accessed by a back alley way. We found that very helpful.
Roseanna was a good host as she was very responsive to text messages.
The beds were comfortable and the showers were good (never lacking for hot water). The soaps provided were not all that great so bring your own if you care about that kind of thing.
The kitchen was pretty well stocked but was missing a couple of important items like a frying pan and pot holders to take hot pans out of the oven. There are no seasonings or cooking oils provided and there is a sign saying not to use the dishwasher which was a bit of a bummer given that we had six people staying in the unit. We always rent condos/homes when we travel so a well stocked kitchen is more important to us than it may be to most.
There is no dining space in the unit for a large family and the living room space is exactly as depicted in the photos. It’s not super spacious or comfortable or conducive to family time. As we were coming in from all our, better common space would have been nice but may not be important to all.
At the end of the day, this unit is very good value for money and meets all the basic requirements for a home away from home…good location, comfortable beds and hot showers! There are many good food options within walking distance and several grocery stores nearby which you can drive to. We did not use the public transport on this trip but our son used the Blue Line train from O’Hare which brought him right to the stop closest to the unit without having to transfer. The stop is at Racine and Harrison essentially which is about a 10 minute walk.
