The property never responded to about 10 phone calls, the message I left, or the door when I rang two different times after check in time that evening.

There was no stay. The day before my arrival, they canceled my reservation by text message. They were unreachable by phone or email or text from weeks before right up to their cancellation.

Made the reservation and turned up at the door to get in. Locked and no one was present. Called the number on the door twice over the course of 45 minutes and had to leave a message both times. No one returned my calls. Another person turned up too and had the same problem. We both left to find other accommodations. Strange way to run a business.

We were greeted by the host with a friendly attitude and was very cordial. He showed us to our room, showed us around the building and gave valuable information regarding our stay and how to use our passcodes for the room, bathroom and front door.

Nice room at a good price. Had to park on the street but we easily found a spot. Good location.

A pleasant, airy, artistic, comfortable house with enough public spaces as well as comfortable bedrooms. My bathroom had a steam unit in the shower, which was lovely after a long walk. The neighborhood is pretty, friendly, close to shopping and transit but not overly busy. Lots of cheerful people and dogs out walking. The open kitchen area was very convenient when I needed a bite outside of typical meal times. I will definitely stay there again.

Nice property in a nice area of Chicago. Property was clean and comfortable with great shared spaces and a nice continental breakfast offered. Would stay again Only real downside is not much parking and it’s an extra charge to use their parking. Street parking is free but it can get congested, especially later in the night.

Please listen to the warnings on this review, and the many others. When people claim that this stay is a scam, it is not far off. When I initially made this booking, I was asked to email a picture of my ID and vaccination card. I was traveling elsewhere at the time and did not have access to my proof of vaccination, and after telling House 5863 this, they decided to cancel my reservation within a week. I found this to be odd, but simply remade the reservation a few days after that and promptly sent the photos of my ID and Vaccine card. The problem was, I wasn't refunded for my first reservation, so for 6 weeks, I was out $836. I left several voicemails and sent several emails to get refunded for the initial booking that was canceled. Communication with the proprietor was either non-existent or unhelpful. Even when I was staying at the hotel, he kept avoiding meeting with me to resolve the refund issue. When speaking with him, he was incredibly rude and unprofessional, getting very defensive and raising his voice. He did eventually take care of the refund, but the communication to get to this point was exhausting, and took hours of my time before and during the trip. On the way back to the airport, he was texting me claiming that I broke one of his Japanese trash cans by throwing away a piece of it. After about an hour of back and forth, he admitted that he found the piece he thought was missing and admitted that the trash can was fine. Try not to stay here.
