Perfect stay for our girl's weekend!
We had the best time at this little "home away from home." There was more than enough space for my friend and me, and it was a beautiful set-up! The hosts are wonderful as well. I highly recommend this VRBO!

Clean stay and had everything we needed. Enjoyed our morning walks to the Green Line at 43rd to enjoy the city…even got to walk past Louis Armstrong’s historic home when he lived in Chicago. Wonderful breakfast at Peach’s just a few blocks away. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful corporate apartment that was very clean. The owners had the best check-in process I've experienced with vacation rentals. They are friendly and accommodating. The neighborhood is quiet with street parking. We appreciated free and easy parking in Chicago. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place!
Stayed at LaTrina and Valane's property for 4 days while helping our daughter into the UChicago dorm. Property was close to Hyde Park, super-clean, and had everything we needed. We met LaTrina in person - she was so helpful and has a sunny, delightful personality. Their Bronzeville neighborhood is lovely, quiet, and safe - it was perfect for two 50-somethings visiting from the southwestern US. We will definitely be back to Chicago to visit our kid, and will hope to stay at this VRBO again when we do!

Nice suite of rooms, very dark entry
Overall the place was nice - very comfortable bed, comfortable couch and tv for unwinding. The unit is in the basement with access through a storage area under the outside stairs - the stairwell was extremely dark at night when I was coming in. Maybe a motion activated solar light? Once inside, a very pleasant space - thanks :)

Nice and comfortable place
We like the unit but the internet did not work well. Not much of a signal. Also we were charged 60 dollars extra for my sister and brother in law. I was surprise by that charge. I have never been charged extra for the alloted guest in a unit. I own a VRBO that sleeps 6 and would never charge extra unless there were more than six. It made the unit quite expensive for us.
