The space:
Experience living like a local in one of Chicago's historic homes! Built in 1880, our home offers a true look into the 19th century, Italian-American community.

Situated within walking/biking distance of the iconic downtown Chicago, this neighborhood is the perfect mix of small town charm with a big city experience. Little Italy/University Village is a living legacy of Chicago’s Italian-American past, with homes, restaurants, and shops that have been part of the community for generations. It’s also home to University of Illinois at Chicago, infusing the whole area with a youthful energy. Located just one block from Taylor Street, the true heart of the neighborhood, you’ll find long-time restaurants and delis that span generations. You can dig into homemade lasagna, stock up on freshly made breads, enjoy traditional dishes in a classic white-tablecloth joint, and order Italian baked goods by the bagful.

This beautiful first floor unit, 1 bedroom – 1 bathroom apartment is recently renovated, but still has the charm of an older, Italian-American home in the heart of Little Italy, Chicago. Majestic windows overlooking the front patio, original hardwood floors, air conditioning and heat. Super clean and bright with everything you need for a wonderful stay.

The neighborhood was nice, felt safe, very walkable. The unit, that's another story. No hot water in shower, dirty floors, no iron, communication with host was terrible. NO response to my personal messages! I've stayed in many VRBO'S and this was by far, THE WORST!

Where do I begin? The front porch area was really bad; chairs were filthy - I texted the owner and he said I did not rent the porch?The inside smelled - the floors were uneven and scratched and spotted.The area rugs looked like they have not been cleaned in years.He said it would sleep 4 - fold out couch yet there were no extra blankets on the shelves.There was no silverware - only 2 plastic forks/knives spoons.The kitchen cabinets were dingy. Knobs were falling off on the hinges. Even the bathroom door hinge was not secure.The shower door was moldy. The sink had virtually no water pressure. The shower at best was lukewarm- not really hot water. the toilet seat was worn.The overhead kitchen lights would not turn off and dimmed when the air conditioner cam on- spooky.The floors sloped /unevenThe refrigerator - not clean - the water dispenser was molded in front. There was only 3 rolls of toilet paper with no tissue paper at all.clock was flashing on the stove; I could not fix itThe clock in the living room did not tell timehad curtains in a small area for washer dryer where the shelves stored iron but the shelves were in bad shape.Overall, the musty smell was badPeople moved in upstairs and I thought they were going to crash the floor into my first floor as their foot noise was very loud. Realizing it was an old building probably nothing can help the upstairs noise.- I request a refund - as the pictures on Vrbo are deceiving. - I will send pictures
