The Upscale Getaway Near Downtown

Overview

This large, fully equipped 2 bed 2 bath condo is perfect for your next visit to Chicago! It has everything you need whether you are a business traveler or just looking to enjoy the city.

Guest access:

Guests will have the 2 bed 2 bath condo and a gated parking spot all to themselves. There a king bed in the primary, a queen bed in the second bedroom and a pull out couch in the living room that has a memory foam mattress, which is quite comfortable. The bathroom comes equipped with shampoo, soap and toothpaste should you need them. Linens and towels are of course provided as well.

The Space and Items of Note:

1. The condo is located on a nice quiet block in the Little Italy/ UIC neighborhood. The center of the city, West Loop, River North and many other destinations are close by and can be easily reached by public transit or Uber/ Lyft/ Cab.
2. The condo comes with access to a gated parking spot. There is also plenty of free street parking should you need a second spot.
3. Each room has a least 1 piece of custom made furniture.
4. If you are looking to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. I enjoy cooking and I made sure it had everything I would need.
5. There is an Amazon Echo, who you may call Alexa, to entertain you during your stay. Ask her the weather, to play music, set an alarm....

Neighborhood overview

The condo is situated in the Little Italy/ UIC area right next to the Illinois Medical District. The Western Blue Line stop is a few minute walk away and the Willis/ Sears Tower, the center of the city, is 3 miles directly east. The heart of the West Loop, which is packed with restaurants and bars, is less than 2 miles away and can be reached in 3 quick train stops or a 8 minute Uber ride. Restaurants and Bars on Taylor street are even closer.


**Note**: There is a camera above the exterior thresholds of both doors. They simply monitor who is going in and out of the home. Neither camera can see inside the home and there are no other cameras anywhere on the property.

Getting around

- Train, Uber/ Lyft, Divvy or Walk
Other things to note
- Out of respect for the neighbors parties of more than 6 or are not generally accommodated. However, depending on the circumstances we might be able to work something out. - If you lose your key it is a $35 fine. - If you lose the remote to the gated parking area it is a $150 fine.

***I am always striving to improve my place and my guests experience. Should you have any suggestions on how I can improve my VRBO please let me know.***

Nice, reasonably quiet. Cozy and modern! Bed was too firm for us but you can not please every one. Host was very attentative and answered our questions promptly. There are 3 flights of stairs to get up to the property, so if that is difficult for you avoid this. It wasnt a problem for us. We really appreciated the off street parking. Nice place. Would stay here again.

Not great but pretty good stay
Our stay was pretty good overall. It was nice, quiet, and had all the things we needed for our stay. The host is a great communicator, and answered all our questions in a very timely manner. We liked the room to move about, the gas fireplace, the main shower with the rain shower head, the gated parking space, and the small fans in each room (stored in closets) was a bonus! There are a few things we didn’t care for though: It’s on the third floor. Thought I might have overlooked this when booking, but upon looking again, it does not tell you. The bed in each room is very firm. Like, someone could do jumping jacks next to you while you’re sleeping and you wouldn’t know it, firm. To my knowledge, there was no live TV, just apps. The process of getting into the condo is a bit of a process. Especially in our case, when it’s -9 degrees outside. Having to park on the street to unlock the box to get the key to open the front gate, find/get into the condo, get the car gate opener, go back to your car, drive around back, is a bit much, to say the least.

This property was exactly as described in the listing. Very clean, well stocked with basic essentials, which was appreciated. Easy to access but a lot of stairs.

Lovely Home Away from Home
My hasband and I stayed at this lovely condo over Thanksgiving (Wednesday through Sunday). Our adult daughter live about 3 blocks away in a one-bedroom so we wanted a place close by that had a good kitchen, was quiet, and appropriate for a festive small family get-together. This surpassed our wishes. The kitchen was fun to cook in and had almost everything we needed. The design is railroad - one long hall with bedroom, laundry, and 2nd bathroom ending in the living area. Tri-Taylor is a cool little neighborhood just west of the UIC/Rush medical district, is pretty quiet, and full of city charm. There is a gated parking lot with designated spot with the rental, which is huge in Chicago! We loved this place and will definitely book it for future trips.
