Rosa’s unit was perfectly suitable for a long term stay (we stayed for a month in July). Rosa herself was very accommodating and responsive. Two examples I would like to provide. (1) We had to start our stay two days early and Rosa was able to get the unit ready for us within hours. (2) Rosa had a painter come by to paint the front porch, this made the front entrance inaccessible for the day and Rosa swung by to drop off keys to the back entrance in <1hr upon request.
The unit is located in a safe neighborhood and the neighbors were very nice!! Parking was plentiful, even over the holiday weekend. Horner park is wonderful and about ~10 minutes walk. Be informed that this is a more “suburban” vibe rather than a dense neighborhood like wicker park or Lincoln park. It’s definitely walkable but there’s not much around the area and public transportation (trains) are far away. Bus stop is close if you’re comfortable navigating the bus system. Pretty much everyone in the area drives. The more happening neighborhoods close by are ~10 mins drive.
The unit was spacious except the bathroom, which was fairly small but that’s standard in Chicago. There are issues with the space (e.g. bedroom door is slightly crooked on the frame and gets stuck along the floor), but again, this is standard in an older Chicago unit. Furnishings were generally tired and can use an update but were very much functional. Appliances are brand new and top notch. There is no dishwasher and we had issues with dirty dishes/utensils when we arrived.
One important piece missing were blinds/shades for privacy. The unit has see-through shades on all of the glass doors and windows but they did nothing for privacy. When it got dark out, the entire neighborhood could see inside.
Wi-Fi was consistent at ~50 down ~10 up. Not the fastest but good enough for two people on video calls all day.
Overall, I would stay again and can recommend Rosa’s unit. Just be aware of these minor inconveniences listed above.
