𝐅𝐀𝐐𝐬

𝐐: 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞?
A: Very much so. 24 hours a day.

𝐐: 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆?
A: The home is very easy to get to via public transit. If you decide to drive, we recommend apps like SpotAngel or SpotHero to find free or cheap parking ($10-20 / night).

𝐐: 𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐲𝐞𝐫, 𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐬?
A: Nope! we provide all these things. We also provide you with a starter pack of toilet papers.

𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭?
A: Check in is 4pm and check out is 10am. Early check ins can be difficult if there are guests who checked out same day. We ask for an early check-in, or a late-check out fee, if you request either.

𝐐: 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨 𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞?
A: Yes. And we wouldn`t trust any listing with which this isn`t the case.

𝐐: 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬?
A: Yes, and we take pride in providing a clean home for guests.

𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭`𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞?
A: We honestly have no idea. With fees included, it only shows the guest how much they pay. This figure should be present after you enter your dates. Note that, pricing varies on a daily basis, and it actually uses some crazy algorithm to adjust it automatically, so I don`t actually control this.

𝐐: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞?
A: Very. Some guests say they`re the best they`ve ever slept on!

We`re here to help as you need it! We give all of our guests full itinerary for their trip 2 days before their stay.

Printers Row is “pocket” neighborhood just minutes from the Chicago Loop. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the area became the Midwest hub of the printing industry with historically significant buildings designed by legendary architects like Daniel Burnham, William Holabird and William Le Baron Jenney. Today, many of those historic buildings remain but the quiet, tree lined streets are now largely residential. Of course, it continues to be a draw for fans of Chicago architecture.

During the day, the neighborhood is an easy walk to offices in the Loop, off Michigan Avenue, or in LaSalle Street financial centers. After hours, the district is alive with restaurants, boutiques, book and antique stores.

It boasts famous blues clubs, eclectic music venues and neighborhood taverns where residents gather. It also has an annual book fair: The Printers Row Book Fair gathers authors, poets, speakers and, of course, books.

Printer`s Row is also walking distance to Chicago`s Museum Campus, with the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium, and the newly redesigned Soldier Field.

With a 97 walk score and 100 transit score, you can get everywhere your heart desires in Chicago. The Red Line subway is one of the main subways in Chicago, and is only a block away. Many restaurants, shopping, parks, and museums are within walking distance.

    This Vrbo was located pretty much in the center of everything and felt very safe. Moms were outside watching their kids in ballet long after dark just a few doors down the street. Everything was clean and the owners were very responsive and friendly.
    10.0 / 10.0
    Great location in a safe neighborhood! We had a lovely stay, we only faced problems with the AC because the unit was locked and the temperature was rather low for our kids (68-69 F). The manager was responsive up to a point, but the issue was not solved. If you don’t mind having the ability to adjust the room temperature, this is a great place. It was clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Overall, it was a nice stay.
    4.0 / 10.0
    The condo was NOT as advertised. It was clean but had NO air conditioning. The host told us but when we arrived and I messaged them how miserable it was the stopped responding. Called VRBO who also tried to reach host but they weren’t answering them either. VRBO did bend over backwards to help us and we ended up leaving and going to hotel. The check-in process was easy and the hosts were super responsive until the A/C issue which was disappointing based on the reviews. Every view out the window was of an ugly roof also but meh.

    We had a good stay. Only issue was that the air didn't work too well in either bedroom. It got hot at night.

    The apartment was clean and quiet; great location.

    Overall good place in a nice location close to restaurants, markets, and subway. Easy check-in. However, ran into a big ant issue in the kitchen for a couple days and a big water leak in the bathroom, which got everything wet and forced us to clear items out of the room for the rest of stay. Host got maintenance to come in and slow it down but it was uncomfortable to be in the bathroom for long.
    10.0 / 10.0
    I like this place for the convenience and quiet in the building itself (you do hear sirens at all hours but that is in all parts of downtown). This place would be great for a first timer to Chicago with kids in tow. Easy walks to almost all of the great museums. There are plenty of grocery and dining options nearby. I think that any of you that want a hearty breakfast to start the day should go to "Honey Berry Pancakes and Cafe" Lots of variety there. "Grant Park Bistro" looked cool but we never had time to go there. Also, try "Etta" way over in Wicker Park. Visited that place while on the "Pizza City" pizza tour. Also tried "The Gage" one night on Michigan Avenue and it was great. The VRBO property is roomy and my son did enjoy using the gym. There is an old school drip coffee pot there for which I was very thankful.
