Host very responsive, house was very clean

The house itself was super comfortable and VERY well stocked. Beds clean and excellent quality, hot water very good, and an amazing basement that we sadly didn’t use much! But it’s great! Backyard is lovely too for cooking out. The big downside is of course only 2 bathrooms for 5 bedrooms, but they are large and really nice and placed for easy sharing (ie you don’t have to walk thru someone’s bedroom to reach either one) The neighborhood doesn’t seem all that interesting at first glance. But excellent grocery stores and coffee spots are within a half mile easy walk (tho it’s largely a driving area, so we of course drove)

The host was prompt to answer questions and very helpful.The house was not as clean as it should be, there were hairs in one of the beds upon arrival. Family sleeping downstairs said the boards creak so much and the water heater was loud all night, they didn't sleep well. Overall, the host was good, location for navy base, restaurants, & grocery stores were good. Neighborhood is good. The kitchen is not well equipped.

We stayed here for 3 nights while in the Chicago area for our son’s Navy boot camp graduation. The house was conveniently located close to the naval base, making it an easy drive to graduation events. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the furniture and décor were newer and nicely updated.However, there were several issues that impacted our stay. The home is older, and some rooms never seemed to get much A/C while the bathroom stayed very cold. The house is also quite noisy—you can hear footsteps, doors, and conversations throughout the home.The basement stairs were difficult for the seniors in our group, especially since the washer and dryer are located downstairs. Unfortunately, the dryer barely worked. We drove 26 hours each way and packed light because the listing included laundry facilities. After spending over 24 hours trying to dry one load while other loads sat wet and began to smell, we had to spend our last evening at a laundromat. I notified the host, but no solution or reimbursement was offered.The lack of towels made this even more frustrating. There were not enough towels for everyone in our group and no extras available. Since it rained during our stay and the dryer wasn’t working, keeping towels dry was difficult.The kitchen was not well equipped, and the stove layout creates a safety concern, especially with children. Pan handles either extend into the walkway or sit over the heat. The microwave is also close enough to the stove that
