Clarendon Hills Top Floor

The property was old. A little beat up, but perfectly serviceable for what we wanted (a place to crash in between outings and at night). For the price, this was perfectly fine.The problem was that there was a moldy smell that was overpowering, especially on the ground floor. My pajamas still smelled like the musty moldy smell the night after i left and i slept upstairs.

Everything was great for my family. Enough room, beds, spacious place. Check-in and check-out was smooth. Only thing with check-in was that the door was slightly open. Other than that, we felt safe.

Don’t let the “upper floor” on this listing scare you away, it is a full house you have access to which was our concern. There’s a second (basement) unit that is fully separate- although you need to be conscious of noise on the first floor of the house if it’s rented which was fine with us. Good for a local wedding we were attending- tons of space. Perfect for our group of 4 (late 20’s, early 30’s) but would be a good sized property for a family as well. We could have had 2 more adults or 4 children comfortably stay. Second bathroom on first floor was a plus.

Call the property was clean by many standards. Everything is just extremely outdated and needs to be replaced from the towels to the linens to the dishes, pots pans, etc..

Ah, where do I begin? If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to stay in a place that kind of resembles the listing photos—if you squint, tilt your head, and imagine a different house entirely—then boy, are you in for a treat!Let’s talk ambiance. The creaking floors really add character—especially when you’re trying to tiptoe to the bathroom at 2 a.m. and end up sounding like you’re being hunted by ghosts. Very immersive. And don’t worry about sneaking in late; the entire house will know.The chairs? Well, they do their best. One tried to launch me into a new dimension. It’s impressive, really, how they hold together just enough to lull you into a false sense of security before surrendering to gravity.And yes, the tub still drains slowly, just as past reviewers lovingly warned. You’ll have time for a full existential crisis while waiting for your bathwater to disappear. Pair that with a shower faucet that’s off-center—as if it were installed by someone with a deep resentment toward symmetry—and you’ve got yourself a spa experience like no other.But hey, it is in a nice area. You can almost forget the minor inconveniences while looking out at the beautiful neighborhood and thinking, “I wonder what it’s like to stay in one of those houses.”To be fair, the place has potential. Unfortunately, it’s currently stuck somewhere between “charming fixer-upper” and “museum of missed opportunities.” A few upgrades—and by a few I mean many—could really bring it into this decade.

This property is a great choice for the price and location, however both bathrooms are in need of cleaning.

We had an excellent stay with family for our son’s college tournament. We had all age ranges (10 months to 74 yrs old). Very comfortable beds & linens. Love the layout of the home! Having 2 bedrooms on main floor was a bonus & such big bedrooms. Comfortable seating for all of us , plus the bonus college kids that stopped by! You won’t regret staying here!!

The house was nice, in a quiet area. The bedrooms were great. It was a little nerve wracking when the lower unit was rented, as we didn't want to disturb them.
