Amazing Evanston Brick property

Everything was as described. Pretty entry was to “beautiful lady” of a building. The unit we were in was nicely refurbished. Modern but the old building charm maintained. We traveled light so the in suite laundry was great. Brand new fridge the day we got there. Amazing bedding & towels.

Beautiful, comfortable stay

The apartment is beautifully decorated and updated. Ross, the host gave us a welcome tour and everything was clearly explained. Beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. We were relieved our rental minivan (just barely) fit in the garage! We did the kitchen wasn't as well equipped as we would have liked, but we were cooking a Thanksgiving meal which may have been a bit ambitious. The meal turned out well and we enjoyed our stay immensely!

Great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay-- we were in Chicago for a family member's wedding, and this condo fit us all comfortably and was very affordable. The property manager was very kind and easy to communicate with. Our place was clean and had everything we needed. We were able to easily fit a pack and play in one of the rooms for our baby. The only downfall was it took a while to drive to certain areas of Chicago, but that's to be expected. The only downfall was it waexareChibustay.

Enjoyable stay

The onsite manager Ross is a wonderful host and does a great job of showing you the unit and giving you an orientation of the neighborhood. Only downside was that my rental SUV was too large for the garage. Finding street parking can be a challenge, but found good parking spots that made my lack of parallel less challenging. Highly recommend the unit. BTW, stairs only, no elevator.

Pleasant week in Chicago

On our visit we found spaciousness, convenience, locality, and peacefulness both in our rental and around. It was a nice rental as an easy home base to set out of, and a welcome respite to return to. We would rent the unit again, and do hope to be back. Very nice trip and place of stay. Thank you!

Very well maintained

The unit was just as described. It was well maintained and the host was very accommodating. Plenty of room for my family of five. Train station was within walking distance and we made it to downtown Chicago in under an hour. We had trouble finding many family restaurants close by. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.

Great place to stay!

Condominium was clean and well stocked with linens and kitchen cookware. We were in Chicago to do some sightseeing and visit our son. Along with being clean and beautifully decorated, the condominium had a garage and parking spot. The Hyundai Tuscan that my sister in law rented at the airport fit fine (small SUVs). Ross, the unit manager, was there to meet us when we arrived. He showed us the apartment and made us feel comfortable. The house is very secure. There are locked gates and the main door into the condominiums is secured at all times. The entrance to the condo is by key and parking spot is in a secured garage with garage door opener that Ross will go over. The condominium is not far from public transportation. We took Union Pacific North (UPN) about a mile away from the condo and we were at the Ogilvie Transportation Center in under 25 minutes. We loved this place and would stay again!

Great apartment

Beautiful building. Very functional and easy to find. Like much of Chicago, parking can be very challenging for anything bigger than a small suv, even in neighborhoods. We mostly used public transit to get around. It wasn’t bad, with about a 15 minute walk to the nearest L train station. It was our first time in Chicago and it was fabulous.

Fantastic home in Chicago!

We loved this rental in Chicago! It was spacious and in a safe neighborhood. It allowed us to relax at the end of each day and wasn't too far from all the places we wanted to visit. Out host, Ross, was extremely gracious and very helpful when we arrived. I can't say enough good things about this property!

Wonderful property on the 2nd floor; late check-in, early check-out

We enjoyed this spacious property; be aware there are quite a few steep steps and there are old school keys, no code offered. Kitchen well stocked (small crockpot) very nice iron and board, lots of towels, comfortable beds with decent pillows. Property mgr offered a lock box after we misplaced a set (why not from the start?) and charged us to replace the keys. I am disappointed in myself for not catching the 4 pm arrival and 10 am checkout. I requested early check in and was told bluntly it was not possible so we planned accordingly, to be called 2 hrs early that is was ready. Too late to take advantage off. Dishes had to be cleaned and put away before checkout. Lots of reminders to exist quietly; do’s and do not’s such as “don’t touch these buttons on the thermostat or it will take me 3 hours to fix what you mess up” ; reminders to leave a 5 star review . The mgr emailed and called me persistently the day before arrival; I stated I had a busy day as my daughter was getting married and his response was “it’s been the same here” . Really? I believe his intentions were all in for the property but what it gave us was overbearing supervision for a group of 50+ adults.

Beautiful and spacious unit with everything you could ask for. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. Great hospitality and Ross met us for checkin even though our flight had been delayed. Wonderful location and within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the CTA station (Howard). Would definitely stay again.

Great spot

The place was ideal for our group of 6. Plenty of space, great location, close to everything we wanted to do and/or easily accessible to picking up the L to travel into downtown. The only suggestion I would make is to have a couple of items "in stock". We cooked a lot at the place, we were surprised a couple of things like salt and pepper were not stocked. Some cooking staples would have been good to have on hand.
