Very well maintained and clean house . Property owner very nice and communication was very fast .
4.5
This was not what we expected as far as neighborhood. Very sketchy, loud music and fighting in the street that continued past 4 AM. We did not feel safe. House was ok but not clean. Walls were very dirty. Showers were terrible and had mold. Towels were like rags. Beds were barely made. The amount of money that we paid for two nights was NOT ok.
4.5
This property was a great place, well maintained, and very close to downtown Chicago. The host was very responsive and the property was clean and comfortable. The only detraction is the location. On a normal day, things were quiet but the area was dirty (trash lining the streets). On the 4th of July, there was a lot of rampant fireworks, some getting too close to vehicles for comfort (even landing in the yard or debris touching the house). Overall, an amazing property though!

Our motley crew of 8 enjoyed the stay! Ms Linnie has done a lot of work to update this home, bright colors, comfy beds!
4.5
The place was nice and clean but missing some basic items such as floor mats and decent pans, otherwise our stay was good. It was near all the places we need to go
4.5
The property was cozy, well-stocked, and had the perfect layout for spending time with friends and family. The host made sure it was easy for us to check in I will definitely recommend this home to others great family get away home
4.5
The price of the location was good. Again, I feel I shouldn’t complain because the price was great but, I was unaware how dangerous the area was. Every Lyft driver that took us there said comments like, “you need to upgrade and leave this area”, “this area is not safe for you”. We even had 2 drivers cancel our pick up because they didn’t want to go into this area. We didn’t have anything happen to us and we stayed, but definitely my family was very scared at night. I would have my son open the door before the driver would leave us. The condo itself was not bad and the communication with the owner was very good and fast. She was receptive to all my questions.
If I were to make suggestions, I feel like the owner should buy cloth couch covers that are washable. The couches look very stained and we didn’t want to just sit on them. I took a sheet off the bed and put it over one of the chairs to sit in. Also, the pans were rusty. My wife found several small black curly hairs in our sheets, which made me question whether they were washed.
I couldn’t afford to leave after we paid for the stay, so we just stayed put. We would leave in the morning and wouldn’t come back until we were ready to lock up and stay in.
I would not go back there with children.
4.5
Was in Chicago for the weekend, we were gone most of the day but this was a nice place to be able to come back to at night. The gated parking spot behind the house was very convenient and easy to access.
4.5
Family weekend to attend the Taste of Chicago. Nice house. Great communication with host.
4.5
Great service
4.5
Positives - Property manager is very easy to communicate. During our stay we had an issue with the bathroom door lock and it was addressed promptly.
Negatives - 1) Misrepresentation of bed sizes. Second and third beds are NOT QUEEN as shown in the listing. Both are Full size.
2) Location is NOT SAFE for family stay.
4.5
If you are someone new to visiting Chicago, as me and my family were, I would strongly suggest you research this area before reserving. I chose this listing because of its relative proximity to downtown. But once we arrived, we absolutely did not feel comfortable in that environment and opted to stay in a hotel instead. I think it’s safe to say there’s a reason why there’s no exterior pictures of the house or the neighborhood as you often see with other listings. This may be suitable for some families but certainly not for us nor would I suggest other families like us. Do your homework before signing so you don’t make the mistake I did.
4.5
Everyone loved their stay at this particular property. It was cozy and very peaceful. The owner communicated very well once it came time to start our vacation from Wisconsin to Illinois.
4.5
Host was very accommodating.
4.5
The host communicated well. The area was busy but felt safe. I felt it was expensive for the location. Very clean.
4.5
We stayed here for a family trip to Chicago to visit the bean and city shopping and also went to Solider Field! Ms Linnie was Awesome to deal with and her accommodating was spot on! The reason I put so so for the title was because every Uber driver said oh you are saying a “so so” area?
In the posting there isn't a picture of the out side of the house, its a run down house but refurbished . The neighborhood is very diverse. We didn’t feel safe being outside after dark. Although we did meet Ms V and her sister Ms J across the street and were more than welcoming and super to talk to! Reassured us we would be safe.
The inside of the house is pretty nice and had most of what we needed. A few things that are in need of work. The refrigerator needs a new handle on the freezer section, there wasn’t a coffee pot or coffee so had to travel to get some. A few more towels would be recommended. Also it was warm and the downstairs air wasn’t working but contacted the host said it wasn’t hooked up? The bedrooms upstairs did work. Not an area to keep windows open. Also the electrical outlets in the upstairs back bathroom did not work to use my hairdryer or flat iron. Had to use the bathroom one?
There is nothing to walk to in the vicinity and wouldn’t trust the area to walk as previous reviews had stated.
Overall we made it work!

Thank You Miss Linnie. My Husband and I enjoyed staying in your home. The bed was super soft.

4.5
Great little house. This place is in a current fixer upper neighborhood. The host is friendly, reachable and cares about her property. The neighborhood is “up and coming” as the they say. We had no issues with our property or safety. I would like to see the back gate get a little matinees so it can be secured from the inside. Overall great place for the value. Would stay again.
4.5
Property owner was very communicative and helpful, and property itself was very nice

Centrally located in the Chicagoland.
Great communication with property owner. Private spaces for all. I would recommend and use property again in the future.
4.5
We enjoyed our stay . Ms Linnie responded to our questions and concerns in a timely matter.
4.5
Ms Linnie is a 10/10 property manager. She was available at any time for questions and promptly dropped by to show us where extra towels were when we asked.
The downstairs area is a perfect layout for gatherings where we had movie nights, played card games, shared stories over beers, and ordered very late night pizzas.
The location definitely made me uneasy once my local chicago friends told me about it. As a female, I was definitely on edge during my stay. However, we didn’t have a single issue with any of the neighbors and felt like the house was secured well at night.
We love Ms Linnie!
4.5
Overall we had a good stay. Checkin was very easy and convenient. Towels and face cloths were left in the bedrooms. And there were seasonings and spices available for our use. With a few minor updates, the place would be peefect. But we were happy with our accommodations.

Wonderful Stay, Amazing Host
We had a wonderful experience during our stay over memorial day weekend, the house was lovely, and Ms. Linnie was a very kind, helpful, and courteous host. The other reviews complaining about the “surroundings” need to check their biases - the neighborhood was totally fine, there is no reason for any reasonable person to feel unsafe.
