We had a great stay! The location is perfect! Unit is over quite a happening bar, with loud music playing late at night. The complimentary ear plugs definitely helped!
Communication with host was great and very helpful! The location was amazing! Close to some great restaurants and bars. The unit was easy to access, very clean and well setup.

Clean. As advertised. Getting access was excessively complicated. Loud
This was the best location, in the heart of Boystown. Clean apartment with all the basic amenities. The price was very reasonable as well. Complaints: located directly above a nightclub and the noise comes through the floor until 11pm. The bathroom is tiny and needs a refurbishment.

Internet was horribly slow, heat was broken the entire stay and it took 2 days of arguing with the host before it was finally fixed, noise monitoring device hidden behind the tv, only one dining chair, bed was hard as a rock. overall the only reason to ever stay here is the location.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the heating, the building uses a central system, and when concerns were raised, we coordinated service as quickly as possible. We understand how frustrating the delay felt, and we want to note that the heating system has since been fully addressed to ensure proper operation for future guests. Internet performance has also been reviewed, and steps have been taken to improve reliability.
The noise monitoring device you mentioned is a Minut sensor, which is disclosed in the listing and is used only to measure decibel levels — it does not record conversations. This is in place to ensure compliance with house rules and respect for neighbors. We’ve also reviewed the furnishings and setup, and the concerns mentioned have since been addressed to improve comfort and functionality.
We’re glad you found the location convenient, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback as it helps us continue improving the guest experience.
Nice play and visit. A bit noisy at night with the neighborhood bars, but it added to the ambience.

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and the neighborhood vibe. I appreciate your understanding about the nighttime noise. Hope to host you again!
Property was fairly easy to find, there is no parking onsite but paid lots are close. The area felt quite safe with places to eat or sit for a drink close by. The location is quite convenient, a very short walk to Wrigley Stadium and the elevated train to reach many Chicago sights.

There was some sort of mix up and the home was not cleaned when we arrived, plus there were several items in the fridge from previous guest. Management had it cleaned when we went out for the evening. They own multiple units in this building, and there is only a very short sentence about this on the listing. As a result, we did not get the listing/furnishings we thought we were getting. The photos made it look as if everything was brand new, but what we got was not what was in the listing and not new or fresh feeling as in the photos. There was mention from the owner/management of a small refund for the housekeeping issue but that did not materialize. It was just an ok experience which warrants this average review score. Not great, not terrible.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry that your arrival experience did not meet expectations, especially with the home not being fully prepared and the items left behind from a previous guest.
We sincerely apologize for the housekeeping oversight. Once the issue was brought to our attention, our team arranged for the unit to be cleaned while you were away, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during that process. We also regret that the follow-up regarding the refund did not happen as expected and have reviewed this internally to improve our communication and resolution process.
Regarding the listing photos and multiple units in the building, we understand your concern. We manage several units within the same property, and while each unit has its own characteristics, we strive to ensure our listings accurately represent the space guests will receive. We will continue reviewing our listing details and photos to provide clearer expectations before booking.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. We appreciate your balanced comments and will use them to continue improving our housekeeping, communication, and guest experience.

Overall the unit was clean, however, in the one bathroom, there was a hole in the ceiling possibly caused by a water leak, with black mold around it. Sprinkles of the black mold drifted down from the hole onto our towels and clothes. Additionally, the photos of the unit showed 3 bedrooms, but only 2 exist, and several photos are not from the advertised unit. I asked the host to please consider refunding a portion of our fee due to these issues, but the host has not responded in any way. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the unit was clean overall, but we’re very sorry to hear about the condition of the bathroom during your stay.
The ceiling issue you described is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern it caused. This was reviewed with our maintenance team following your stay and has since been addressed. We understand how upsetting it must have been to have debris falling into the bathroom area.
We also want to clarify that the listing photos are intended to accurately represent the unit. We’re sorry if there was any confusion regarding the layout or room configuration, and we appreciate you bringing that to our attention so we can continue reviewing the listing for clarity.
We also apologize that you did not receive a timely follow-up regarding your request after checkout. We understand how frustrating that must have felt and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving both the property and guest communication moving forward.

Communication with the host was like pulling teeth, almost nonexistent. Plus, this is a VRBO property and you can’t contact them on here, and they won’t message back on the VRBO app. We didn’t receive the access information until 30 minutes before the 3pm access time, which had us really concerned because we were wondering if the place was a potential scam.
Inside the property the beds didn’t have a loose, middle sheet between the comforter and there were no extra blankets so our friend who slept on the couch was freezing all night.
Absolute CRAP hosts. Wouldn’t recommend staying here at all.
Great place, super close to Wrigley for a baseball trip! Check-in with multiple keys and codes was a little wonky, but host was responsive to get it resolved.

I asked for an early check in and it wasnt available which was ok but when we got to the property at 3;30 for the 3:00 check in the outside door key wasnt in the box where I was given the instructions for. It was in another box. Once another key was in another box we went up stairs and the code we were given for the door to the apartment was wrong. They say it was changed for security reasons. OK great dont send me the incorrect info - update your check in instructions. We get inside the apartment door (around 4:00 now) and there are a set of car keys and the back door is unlocked. I would assume it was the cleaning ladys keys and then she knocked on the door at 4:15 to grab them. So apt wasnt ready at the 3 check in and the check in instructions were not updated with the correct codes to get into the doors which created an hr delay when we were alrady traveling all day to get there. They were going to charge 50 for an early check in and I told them to credit me 50 since the apt wasnt ready on time and for the incorrect instructions. Crickets!!

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustrating check-in experience and the delay you encountered after traveling all day.
We understand that the incorrect key-box location and apartment access code created unnecessary confusion and significantly delayed your entry. These discrepancies were caused by a glitch in the system that resulted in outdated access information being displayed. We understand that this should not have happened, and we have reviewed the check-in process to help prevent similar issues in the future.
We also apologize that the apartment was not fully ready when you arrived. The delay was due to a particularly busy cleaning schedule that day, and we understand that this was inconvenient, especially after your long day of travel. We have reviewed this with our cleaning team to help ensure better coordination and timely readiness for future arrivals.
Regarding your request for the $50 credit, we regret that this was not properly followed up on and that you did not receive a timely response. We understand your frustration and apologize for the lack of communication.
Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve our check-in procedures, system accuracy, cleaning coordination, and overall guest experience.
