This place is in a great location. 1/2 block off of Schiller park made for very convenient walks with the dog. Having 2 parking spots is a real bonus in this part of town. The large patio and back yard were super nice to spend evenings in. The space itself is very nicely renovated and well laid out. We really enjoyed the spiral staircase and the loft bedrooms. Having 2 full bath rooms and laundry in such a small place was great. There was even some detergent available.
Check in was automated with a keypad lock that we were sent a code for the morning of arrival. Directions and parking were simple. HVAC is with a heat pump that had directions though as our stay was in the fall we didn't ever turn on the Heat or AC. This loft is just fine for 4 people but I can see it being a bit crowded if you needed to use the sofa-bed. It's nice as an option but that is the main seating area of the loft.
We didn't have any communication with the host beyond automated messages so I can't speak to his responsiveness, there was nothing that we needed as the space was as described and the amenities were easy enough to figure out with the instructions and common sense. Be warned that the WiFi and router are on a switched outlet, so if you turn the lights off with the switch you also will disable the WiFi.
The location is great, right in the heart of German village but super private and quiet. almost zero traffic noise and the large yard is very comfortable.
I would definitely stay here again in the future, the location alone was great and the fact that the loft has nice, contemporary decor and modern appliances is a real bonus.
