"Clean room. Comfortable bed Tablet provided first I have ever seen."

LakeHouse with rooftop and views of lake.

10/10 Excellent

"Our family stayed at this home while our son had a competition in downtown Chicago. It’s a very spacious place—plenty of room for our crew of 5 AND my parents. The host was very clear with communication, so we knew exactly what to expect. The home is clean, welcoming and beautiful with full amenities, and a quick 20min drive into downtown. Thank you for the beautiful stay!"

8/10 Good

"Chris , himself, was a delight to work with. He was responsive and kind. Due to a water issue, we did not stay in the apartment that we booked and that is why I only gave 3 stars. The apartment we did stay in, was not set up and ready for renters. That was the reason for only 4 stars. There were personal belongings (wet towel, toothbrush in the shower, etc) out and refrigerator/freezer were being used. It wasn’t a big problem for us , but I didn’t appreciate being told we were being “upgraded” at no charge-as if we were getting a deal. I specifically looked at the listing to know if I should bring a hairdryer and this turned out not to be available in the “upgrade “. It is not handicapped accessible- not an issue for us, but it would be for some. The brownstone looks nice from the outside and doesn’t really match the surrounding area. Good proximity to the Obama museum."
