I chose this unit because of the location near our son & daughter-in-law's house. Was 1 block away and perfect for a weekend getaway in the big city. The pictures were spot on and the host ( Jim ) was outstanding. Everything was clean. Check in worked perfect. Have given the Vrbo info to our son for his friends to use if they come for a visit. Way nicer then a hotel! Thanks again, Tom & Jan.

Beautiful apartment

I want to be clear that all my reviews consist of constructive uplifting info to help someone! I have stayed at a lot of properties through Vrbo! But I must say this was the most beautiful .This unit is absolutely mind blowing! It is so well well done colors, decor and quality. It was immaculate very warm and welcoming and and also located in a prime super safe beautiful neighborhood on the north side of Chicago a 10 min walk to some of the best bars and restaurants and also a large gay community with bars and restaurants.this was a staycation for my husband Birthday and I was overjoyed when I walked through the door of this fully equipped unit with amazing beds decor and an outstanding kitchen that offers everything you need and a gorgeous modern bathroom…everything about this unit starting in the entry way clean modern and super beautiful…the only constructive criticism I have is there is a back door that leads in to a back storage area that look really nice but it’s a little creepy because the top of the door is glass and it Looks into the back bedroom! It would be nice if they owner could frost that glass so you can’t see in the unit. Also check in was 3pm but I didn’t receive check info until after 4pm once I emailed the owner. I know things happen it was not a prob…I just know owners want you check out exactly at 11pm and renters expect the same to check in exactly at 3pm.PLEASE PLEASE DONT PASS THIS UNIT UP!
