Other Things to Note:
We want to ensure your stay feels like home, so please take note of the following guidelines:

1. Please be considerate of other tenants by keeping noise levels low, particularly during quiet hours.
2. For certain reservations, additional screening, a government-issued ID, and a security deposit may be required.
3. If any issues arise during your stay, don’t hesitate to reach out so we can address them promptly.
4. To enhance your comfort, air conditioning units are installed during the summer months. As cooler weather arrives, the units are removed to promote energy efficiency.
5. Hot Water System: The property uses a boiler system that heats water on demand. Hot water may take a moment to reach full temperature during high usage or colder weather. For safety, the boiler may reset temporarily if irregularities occur.
6. Heating System: The heating operates automatically, activating below 68°F and cycling off when the set temperature is reached. Radiators lack individual controls, so heat output can't be adjusted manually. As outdoor temperatures drop, the boiler runs more frequently to maintain indoor comfort.

Thank you for choosing our apartment for your stay. We hope you have a wonderful visit and enjoy your time here!

Fantastic location

Great little modern style apt, very centrally located with tons of food and entertainment options within short walling distance. Short drives to almost all the other major businesses one would need on a trip. Communication was clear and easy, they were very accommodating and welcoming and we very much enjoyed our stay

A nice place to stay

This place was everything that I was wanting in a listing, it was super clean and was stocked with all of the necessary essentials for my trip. I was given all of the proper instructions to get into the building and the exact address as well. The host was overall, very nice and understanding, as well as helpful with answering any questions I had. I will definitely stay at this listing again for future trips.

Family business stay

This location was good for where we needed to go each day, very close to Kennedy expressway. Check in process was easy and exactly as described in instructions. Apartment itself is very basic, not many extras like a microwave which would have been nice, but for just the two of us it was fine. Parking wasn’t that bad, we had to pay attention to restrictions on certain areas and street cleaning on different days but not a big deal if you paid attention. There was streaming service but a lot of times the internet didn’t work. Something to be aware of, this is a decent size apartment building with many tenants living there and part of big city living are big city arguments that sometimes occur in the same building, as what happened on our stay, fortunately it did not escalate into something more..we were not involved but it was going on in the courtyard of the building. Probably the most disappointing part of our stay was when my wife tried to contact the property manager THREE times for a question we had, and she NEVER responded. Fortunately it was a minor issue and we were able to resolve the problem on our own, but in reading the review from the previous renter before us, that person had raved at how attentive the property manager had been, so no response was a little surprising. Not sure what we would have done if it was something urgent!! We were hoping for a place we could return to when we had to make trips into the city but this probably won’t be the place.

Terrible

Host, You absolutely know we never stayed at your location. We went inside at 3:11pm when check in was at 3pm on April 28th to a mess from the last person who stayed there. Nothing was clean dirty dishes, dirty bed, and stuff still in the shower like someone was coming back home. You sending this email literally makes no sense. After 8 hours on the 28th trying to get assistance on getting a refund and wasting our honeymoon time in a new city 11 hours from our own state you continued to lie to us. You did absolutely nothing and we are aware this was a complete scam made by you. We are disgusted with Vrbo and you.

Terrible service.

My check in was at 3, the host gave me the wrong code for keys, and did not respond till 5:30pm, was extremely hard to get in contact with even with the help of vrbo. Once I was finally contacted and given the correct code, I proceed inside to find trash all over the apartment as if someone else was staying there. Half eaten left overs in fridge ; mugs in shower, trash bins overflowing: Would not recommend this place at all.

Wonderful, Spacious Apartment

I can't say enough good things about my stay here! The apartment was so clean and had everything I need to be comfortable for two weeks. It was conveniently located right off of Milwaukee which is a straight shot right into downtown, and Montrose which was a straight shot to the lake. The property manager/ owner was so nice - checking in to make sure everything was good, and easy to contact. I definitely will try to stay here every time I'm in town.
