I booked in January for a stay in June. VRBO had a hiccup: the app sent me all my confirmation emails, but did NOT send the reservation to Henry, the host. Our party of 5 arrived only a couple hours after I contacted Henry (the first he'd heard about us), expecting that we would have to find other accommodations on a super-busy graduation weekend. BUT, Henry and his housemate quickly tidied up and made other arrangements for THEMSELVES, in order to allow my elderly parents, my son (who came from Amsterdam), my spouse and myself to stay in their home for 5 nights(!). Henry was absolutely lovely and such a generous, helpful host. And we were so grateful not to have to scramble last-minute for other accommodations. The house is an old, historic home with a lot of personality. The creaking hardwood floors and narrow staircases did not bother us one bit. On the contrary, we found it all very charming. Others have commented about the neighborhood, so I feel it's important to add that we walked all over the area and we NEVER felt unsafe. In fact, we met several of Henry's neighbors on the first night and found them to be extremely friendly and welcoming. This property is not fancy, but it was safe, comfortable, and affordable. Henry went out of his way, at the last minute, to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. We are so grateful for his generosity and help during such an important trip. :)

The house was good for our needs, we enjoyed it, and the communication with the host (Henry) was excellent, plus he was always available and expedite in helping us. We were able to enjoy our time in Chicago at this property!
The microwave had a dirty tray, so we washed it before use it. Also the kitchen countertop needed a cleaning before using. And there was many of those places with hidden dust around the house (behind the table, for example) - I understand Chicago's dirt is hard, but it was not nice to find it.
However, it was overall a great stay, a courteous and helpful owner, and a rich house to visit with so many beautiful pieces of furniture!
The neighbors were quiet most of the time (except for one night - very loud music), and you can park and feel safe.

Pros: Communication with Host was great and he was very helpful and nice. Property was equipped with everything needed and check in was easy.
Cons: Area around was a little sketchy but it looks like it may be in the process of being renovated. Property is older and floors and a little noisy.

My husband, his dad and brother stayed at the property for a weekend. He says the place "wasnt very comfortable" in the sense that other than the front porch, there werent to many places inside the house where they could all be together and hang out.
The neighborhood - which the owner has zero control over - was definitely not one in which my husband would have felt comfortable bringing me or my kids to....i guess we can leave it at that.
We were very appreciative of the price we paid for the place given the outrageous pricing elsewhere, but you will pay for that when it comes to peace of mind in your surroundings.....
