This house was a mixed bag. It is in a great area near lots of services and within walking distance to the lake or the "L". It is spacious, but it is in need of maintenance. Kitchen is dated and kitchenware limited, but the house was clean inside. Some closet doors needed repair and there were no hangers, but we had plenty of extra sheets, blankets and pillows. The garage definitively came in handy since street parking seemed limited. A minivan will fit (tight), but doubtful a big SUV will. Stairs to the outside deck and garage needed repair. It worked OK for our needs since we spent all day out, but it would not have been a good choice if we had spent significant amount of time inside the house. The people at Travel The States were very responsive and communicative.
