Nice Place and Location
My sister and I had the garden apartment which is sort of like a basement apartment. I didn’t realize that’s what we would get originally, but it was best for us since we are in our 70s and had to carry our own luggage.

Beautiful property but we had a few issues
Good: Communication with owner was easy, detailed, & responsive. Super nice person. Property was very clean on arrival w/ plenty of supplies. Comes with 1 garage parking spot (very small). Departure was very easy. Bad: Property manager could be called abrupt, rude, & inappropriate. Hoping he was just having a bad week. Two major issues. Night of my son’s formal graduation party (we were co-hosting); very reason we were in Chicago renting VRBO, the drains clogged & toilets would not flush. Property manager didn’t respond until we reached out to owner directly. Property manager arrived very agitated, stating that drain pump only clogs when woman put “personal products” into toilets. I explained to him that all woman staying at house were past the age where they would use those products. When I walked away, he reiterated to my sister & then a third time to my wife, “one of the woman must have put personal products in the toilets”, “woman use these personal products for incontinence too”. Simply unbelievable! We were unable to fully get ready for my son’s event as plumber shut off water w/ no estimated time for repair. Unfortunately, 2 days later we were w/out hot water. When property manager arrived, again agitated, he said to my family “this has never happened in 17 years” as if we purposely blew out gas water heater’s pilot light. Why would we ever want to be w/out hot water? Totally ridiculous! With help of neighbor, he relit pilot & we had hot water next day.

Perfect Chicago stay
This is a perfect place to stay for a visit to Chicago. The neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and close to both downtown and the suburbs. The host is friendly, easy to communicate with, and shared information about getting around the city, as well as restaurant recommendations. The unit is very clean, quiet, and easy to be in. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of soft towels, which you don’t always get with a rental. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware, although no spices except for salt and pepper, which was fine by us, but BYO spices if you’re planning something specific. Having a washer and dryer was a plus and there’s a garage spot in the back that fits a small SUV, which was helpful when dealing with city street parking. Hope to stay again on our next trip to Chicago!

Spacious and spotless condo to spread out and relax!
This is a fantastic location just outside of the city on a quiet street but close to everything. The Property Manager (Ross) is fantastic with communication and even after our flight was delayed three times, he met us at the door, gave us a thorough tour of where everything is located, and some great tips on where to eat. It's a $20 UBER to the heart of the city (Millenium Park) and the place is spotless! Highly recommend if you're looking for a place to hang your hat for a few days!

Why they chose this property

The location is perfect. I wanted to be close to the lake, airport and Evanston. I am a fanatic for wonderful architechture and Rogers Park is known for the late 20's grand style. Only 10 miles from O'Hare Field. Midway Airport is 22 miles away. Just a 15 minute ride on the Union Pacific train to the heart of the city. This train stop is only 6 blocks from Residence on the Avenue. Ravinia Park, the out door concert venue can be reached in 20 minutes by this same train.The Red line will take you to Wrigley Field, Lincoln Park Zoo & to down town. Wrigley Field home to the World Series Championship Cubs is just 15 minutes from our location!

What makes this property unique

I love the location. All that the city has to offer is so reachable. Lake Shore Drive is so close and can take me to the Magnificient mile (Michigan Avenue)Or head the other direction where LSD becomes Sheridan Road & view the beautiful mansions along the way to the Chicago Botanical Garden..........All along the the lake front. I enjoy as well the peacefulness ofthe beautiful North Shore towns of Evanston, Willmette, Winnetka & Glencoe Having the lake front so close is also a benefit.
