We had an amazing stay! The apartment was perfect for what we needed! We were in town for our daughter-in-law’s graduation from Northwestern. We had 8 adults in our party and the accommodations were perfect for what we needed.
The unit is a walk up unit with narrow stairs. So maneuvering the stairs might be difficult if you have disabilities. Having access to the laundry area downstairs was really nice! The coffee pods were great in the mornings, however we would have preferred to have a real coffee pot, only because we tend to drink coffee throughout the day. There was plenty of toilet paper and paper towels for our stay which was nice. Minimal toiletries provided, so make sure you bring your own soaps and shampoos. The kitchen is nicely stocked with pots, pans, plates, cups, wine glasses, wine opener, utensils. We did end up buying salt and pepper and left in the unit for the next family to come through. The living room and dining area is a was perfect for watching tv and playing games at the dining room table. Television had xfinity cable and applications.
The neighborhood was really nice. We walked several times to and from our son’s apartment, which was 2 blocks away. Felt very safe and comfortable walking at random hours of the day. There are several restaurants within walking distance which was really nice. Starbucks just a block away. 7/11 right down the road as well for last minute needs. We walked easily to the Cubs game on Saturday and was able to enjoy the festivities of game day.
Brandon was extremely accommodating our flights out of Chicago got cancelled due to weather, and he was easy to get ahold of to discuss options for us to stay in the unit. He even offered another unit to have us stay in if we needed to.
We probably won’t be coming to Chicago again anytime soon since our kiddos are moving back to Seattle since she graduated, but I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a great place for their family to stay.
