We had a great time at this property while our family explored Chicago. We found everything about the property was awesome for our family. Sitting outside with coffee in the morning was fantastic. Quiet neighborhood and very close to grocery store. We would stay there again. If we had to make any recommendations it would be that the living room could use more seating as we were five adults and had to use kitchen chairs for all to have a seat. I would also consider new sofa downstairs. It sits very low and can be uncomfortable for some people.

Great location and the place was immaculate. Host was very nice.

Our family is spread over the Chicagoland area and this was a very central location to Downtown and various burbs for us. Property is well kept. Minor upkeep needs did not overshadow the great layout, condition, and comfort of this home. The rooms were comfortable, and we loved both the basement rec area and the outdoor patio. The fenced in back yard was a HUGE bonus for our dogs. And above all, the owners were AMAZINGLY responsive and helpful. We will definitely seek out this property next time our family converges back upon Chicagoland. Thank you for giving our family a memorable place to come together - it truly means the world.

Overall, the stay was okay. This house could easily be a 5-star stay with fixes. I think this house has suffered from inconsiderate prior guests; however, that's not really my problem and I feel my experience was worsened as a result of the hosts not addressing issues from prior guests. The mantra of the stay became "everything works, but everything is a little broken." Let's start with the good: The house is in a good location -- grocery walking distance away. Nice nature paths nearby also. The house is roomy enough for many people to stay, the backyard is fully fenced for dogs and in good condition. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. This is why the house could easily be a 5-star stay. Plus dog-friendly, is a huge plus. The so-so: Nothing was awful. We had an okay stay. But from the start, several issues came up:- Grill was dirty & rusted enough that I didn't want to use it. Listing says guests are responsible for gas, and of course it was empty. We skipped grilling. - Slow drains in baths, sinks- Arrival was not ready; crew was very nice, but would have been better to skip all that.- Kitchen sink would periodically not dispense water (touch faucet)- Low-stocked kitchen compared to other VRBOs at the price- One of the living room chairs was broken, limiting comfortable seating- Basement ping-pong is well worn, had to buy balls, table isn't in great condition- Washer dryer would randomly stop or be very hard to start; they worked, but were a little wonky
