Cozy, comfortable stay!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here for our first visit to the Chicago area. The place is clean and beautifully furnished and gave us a taste of what life in the Chicago area would be like! The beds could've been a little softer but other than that we give this VRBO an A+!

We stayed here for a weekend Cubs series so it is a little far for that but the area is very nice with neighborhood bars and restaurants near by. Unit was very nice and clean. Great stay.

Exterminate

My cousin was bitten by a spider. The lightning fixtures were dusty with spider webs orher that it was convenient place to stay. There were 2 beds and a sofa bed (not comfortable) this not a place to stay for a friend's trip if you need to sleep alone. It doesn't sleep 6 comfortably. The property was nice and responsive to meeting our needs.

Lovely Property with a Garage Available

Well maintained, tastefully decorated, and generously furnished. There were three of us but other family members visited. Parking was a bit tricky, but the caretaker, Ross, had some helpful tips, and the garage was priceless towards that end. We looked forward to wine in the private courtyard, but it rained every day. Phoo. The property has plenty of seating and dining supplies so we just ordered in. We will come again. This property suited our needs perfectly!

Oasis in the City

What a lovely place! The place is beautiful and spacious. It was absolutely perfect for our needs. The garage parking was an added bonus and the backyard is beautiful. It really is this peaceful oasis in the city. Our charming host has gone to great lengths to make sure his guests are comfortable, from the way the apartment is outfitted to the very helpful guide to stores and restaurants nearby. Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Travel to Chicago for a wedding

My husband and two adult children flew to Chicago for a family wedding. At last minute I was unable to attend but had made the reservations. They said the place was spotless with everything needed for the weekend. The property manager met them and let them in and showed them the property. They said the location was great and they highly recommend. They enjoyed their stay.

A week in Chicago

We are not city people but felt safe on this particular street. The location was clean and well lit. The unit was well appointed, well managed by onsite manager, as just as advertised. Any car bigger than a 2014 Honda Pilot will not fit in the onsite garage. We recommend this highly and with the onsite manager, Ross Carlson, you can't go wrong.

Overall loved the space. Great neighborhood, clean inside, great space. My only 2 complaints are, 1. It smelled very strong of cat litter which was quite odd. And 2. The check in process was strange. The manager required that he meet you in person and go through each page of the binder, and go through the entire house, one by one. I have never had that happen, and it was honestly inconvenient and annoying. Luckily, the space itself was great, so I gave it 5 stars.

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.
