The house was really clean and comfortable, even with frequent 4-legged guests! The beds were so comfortable, shower water was nice and hot and the bathroom was really clean. There were coffee pods, bath wash and other little items available. The house is in a quiet, middle-class neighborhood with a park nearby and parking in an alley driveway. Not a glamorous area but REALLY close and convenient to downtown and the German Village ( a must-see! Great strolling and dining area and Schiller Park was wonderful for dog walks).
