Great stay. Very good instructions along with video for entry. Clean and comfortable! Enjoyed our stay. Great Colombian coffee shop right downstairs to the right of the entrance.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Clean comfortable space, friendly host, location was very convenient for our needs, with a short walk to the CTA. The only drawbacks were minor; there are no curtains-only blinds- which let in more morning light than we would have liked for sleeping in and there was minimal space in the bathroom for counter items and hanging up towels, travel kits ext.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The property evidently allows only cats while being listed as pet friendly. Because it was a last minute trip, I was unable to get a refund and find a place that would allow my dog, causing a fairly large logistics issue for me
