Smooth Stay at a Great Place

Watch Out

I booked this home with the intentions of having Thanksgiving here. I even messaged the host PRIOR to booking & let them know. Upon arrival, ON Thanksgiving day, I was quickly smacked in the face with a less than subpar kitchen. I contacted the host & she did respond that her kitchen is minimalistic. I said um no, it's gross & there isn't usable kitchenware. She did ask what I needed (everything) & offered to bring by what was needed. My daughter had to run to a Family Dollar & buy kitchen things. The things IN the kitchen were absolutely disgusting. The 1 cookie sheet was SO rusted. The host said a prior tenant must've left it. The house sleeps 12 yet there were only 3 butter knives & 7 forks. We wouldn't use any of them, we bought plasticware. The trash can in the kitchen is FILTHY. There is food & dust balls all under the cabinets. The bed sheets upstairs-1 bed had blood spots on it, the other bed had mascara all over the pillow case. We had to make the beds w/ "fresh" sheets. The downstairs bedroom had no pillows. Just pillow shams. There was stuff left in the dryer. The "housekeeping" doesn't keep. This house has SO much potential. However I'd rather have eaten off of the kitchen ware from the people in tent city down the street. We couldn't take anymore & left early. Even changed my flight it was such a bad visit. I asked for a refund but host said she'd look into the "cleanliness" lack thereof. Would not recommend. Will not go back here.

The host was very response and the property was nice. Plenty of space for my family to roam apart from each other or be in the same room chatting. The few issues we had were addressed with the property owner. Location wise it cannot be beat. It was centrally located to most of the things we were doing for the weekend and had plenty of street parking which was a plus.

1 star on amenities

The good news, the house was close to where we wanted to be. The the bad news, amenities (sheet and blankets) were not readily available. There were dirty sheets in a closet. 90% of the closets were a mess. When we stripped the beds at check-out time the pillows were disgusting with big yellow stains. The kitchen does not have a set of dishes, dish towels, salt and pepper. The bath rooms were either difficult to figure out, or just dysfunctional.

Jewel in Chicago near Southside.

Property is exactly as described. Clean, comfy and well-appointed. Very close access to CTA Red Line, this made travelling downtown daily a breeze. We would definitely book again!

Family Friendly

The location was very convenient. Downtown was moments away. The decor and house was beautiful and spacious. The owner was very sensitive to our needs. We appreciated a clean friendly environment inside and out. I would select this location again.

Bridal shower weekend

Good morning! The property was in a prime location however next to an abandoned building. There were security cameras everywhere which made the ladies feel safe. Upon entry my husband did a walk through to make sure the property was empty. We did nor like the fact we couldnt open certain doors. Those doors that should not have been open need locks instead of charging a fee. In todays climate everything needs to be checked. To make sure visitors are safe from video camera's being hidden. Paper towels nor extra garbage bags were not provided. Usually when visting a vrbo those essentials are provided. The house didnt stay cool. The master suite was hot and the ceiling fan once turned made a loud noise the occupant did not get much sleep.The upstairs bedrooms were hot even with ceiling fans. The house however is exactly what the post described. We loved the setup we loved the art work. We loved everything about the house. We would definitely use the property again if need be. Thank you

Deceiving pictures

The front of property is showing an aged photo, in actuality, the neighbor’s home is boarded up. Literally, across the street is the metro train with a lot of lights shining thru the windows. There is black mold in grate in living room. No hot showers except master bedroom. The air was super hot in basement and very cold upstairs. The weather was very windy and cold and was coming under the front door. Unfortunately, I don’t think that $50 refund for six adults trying to get ready for our father’s funeral was acceptable or in any circumstance.

Quick trip to Chicago

Let me start with the welcome letter and bottle of vodka from our host set the tone for a wonderful visit. In my communication to Chantal before we arrived I told her that I was coming with friends to attend a House music festival. She incorporated that info into her welcome note. The home was clean, updated and huge. I noticed others talked about the area. The house is on a street with 4 other houses. The house next to us is being renovated and the other two house have well maintained yards. There is an open lot to the left of the house, no issues there. The house is fenced in and has a seating area in the back that we took advantage of. The rooms are large and the kitchen was hangout spot for us. It was the perfect set up for 5 of us. I was very pleased!

Weekend Stay

The house was neat and clean but in a questionable neighborhood. Basic amenities were lacking such as towels in the powder room and kitchen, hand soap in the master bath. There was no instruction sheet for Wi-Fi password or how to disarm the door alarm.
