Chicago garden apartment
The best location in Chicago! As a Chicago native, I have to say this property is the absolute best location in the city. In a safe, beautiful neighborhood and steps away from shopping, restaurants, the beach and walking distance or a short Uber ride to all of the museums or tourist attractions. Check in was easy, internet worked well and the host responded immediately when one of the outdoor lights needed to be replaced. The only criticism I have is that the carpet needs to be replaced in the bedroom because it is spotted and dirty, but otherwise the unit was extremely clean.

Excellent overall
My daughter and I went for a convention in March. This was our first time in Chicago and it was a great stay. This property is close to everything. I just wish I would have known that there is no free parking anywhere, I would have just taxied everywhere instead of getting a rental and paying for it to be parked the entire time. This property was cozy and had an entire kitchen. The bathroom is much bigger and nicer than you would get in a hotel room. While we stayed there there were other guests staying above us. We stayed in a basement type studio apartment. The footsteps from the other guests were loud and when the heat gets turned on there is loud banging sounds coming from the heat system. It terrified me and my daughter because we didn’t know what it was until we read the binder that is left in the room with all the information you need. Over all this was a very good and affordable place to stay.

Gold Coast location
The location of this apartment could not be better, with Lake Michigan to the east, Gold Coast shops and restaurants to the West, and the Mag Mile to the South. All locations are easily walkable.
Julian is also an excellent host. We had an issue arise and he took care of the matter quickly.

Perfect location
The property was in beautiful and quiet neighborhood, walkable and full of great eating venues. The kitchen and bathroom were well appointed; the living area could use a little TLC. The internet was difficult to use but serviceable. Overall would stay again just for location alone (as long as you don't plan to work remotely).

Great location
The location couldn’t have been better! We were less than 10 minute walk from Michigan Avenue and all the places we came to go to! With Spot hero we paid it $19.50 to park literally across the street from the apartment at a covered valet parking garage! :) We ordered DoorDash and they found our place but they left the food at the upstairs front door which was fine I just went upstairs and got it. There are two doors at the back of the apartment that are locked and they do not enter and I watch a lot of criminal minds and it kind of freaked me out because I didn’t know what was behind those doors and I already was nervous about coming with my daughter to the city to a place with no reviews. There’s no table or chairs to eat at so we sat on the couch and ate at the table and watched TV. The bed was very comfortable. The shower is big and has a rain shower however the water pressure overall in the shower couldn’t really rinse your hair out. The kitchen and fridge and entire place was very clean. We watched Netflix very easily on the TV overall this day it was nice and the location was the best part. Because it’s the old building you can hear every step people take upstairs and at one point or you could hear a voice so close as if it was in our apartment. It would be cool if you wrote do not enter these doors because they lead to another apartment. Especially for people who are used to not living in apartments and having neighbors that close, will be aware that there are people behind those doors or just storage? The homes down the street are historical and beautiful everything was extremely convenient.
