The location is nice, but not worth the high price, the space is too small for cooking a meal and there is not table to sit, so it’s a glorified hotel sweet. They will be watching and if you have one extra person to visit you will receive a threat of getting removed from the property. I live in Chicago and come back to the area to spend time with my nieces and nephews, it was a bummer I had to drop one off just to be able to spend time with there others. I would only recommend this spot for people who strictly travel alone or coupled and plan on eating every meal out. Not a rental to spend with family in the area.

We want our guests to feel comfortable and confident in the home they choose, and we're sorry this stay didn’t meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- Our listing notes that the studio is designed for two guests, and the sleeping arrangements reflect that. Because we live nearby, we do keep an eye on the property to ensure occupancy guidelines are followed out of respect for our neighbors and the home.- The listing photos and description show the cozy size and layout of the space, including the compact kitchen. We provide a microwave, small oven, refrigerator, and cooking essentials that many guests use to prepare simple meals during their stay.- Daytime visitors are welcome, but all overnight guests must be included in the reservation, in line with the occupancy limit outlined in the listing.- The space is designed to be a comfortable and convenient option for solo travelers or couples, and we aim to provide clear photos and details so guests can determine if it’s the right fit for their trip.Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.
