The house was clean and everything was nice. There are enough beds and bedrooms to host a family of seven, and they were all nice. The number of kitchen utensils, plates, cups and the table size were pretty tight for a group that big. But overall it was good.

The home is spacious and the rooms were comfortable. The space is also bright and fun. We had a good time overall and it's a good space for the price.The one main issue is that some of the kitchen appliances were old and/or not entirely clean in rough shape. The dishwasher was broken however, so I imagine that that condition of the items is usually not the case.The host was communicative and helped me retrieve my bag from the home when I accidentally left it, which I appreciated.

Nice place. Furniture and beds were comfortable. The property is fenced and the back sitting area and parking was very nice. A great place to rest and get cleaned up for a day of adventures in Chicago. easy to get to, right by the highway. We would book again.

It was as listed. I arrived after 9 pm on a Saturday and felt uncomfortable in the area. However after getting settled there were kids 3-8 yrolds playing outside so it put us at ease. The place was clean and plenty big. I would stay here again.

Would not stay again

Ms. Linnie provided smooth communication, was very hospitable, and kind. That was very much appreciated. We personally wouldn't stay at this location again for several reasons. The photos posted for this home are definitely retouched. We realized that as soon as we entered the residence. The furniture and dining room chairs needed slipcovers (needed cleaning). We discovered that only the top of the dining room table had been wiped as it was super smeared. None of the blinds in the rooms went all the way down so we had to strategically get dressed to feel comfortable. The floors were cracked. The baseboards had cracks and holes. The vents in the bathrooms looked as if they had never been cleaned. We thought if we turned them on only dust balls would blow out. Although there is a locked gate around the home we felt like the doors were going to get kicked in at any minute. We stayed out as much as possible. The neighborhood was not favorable at all. There were 2 men that kept walking around the house and staring at us. There were people outside ALL NIGHT SCREAMING AT THE TOPS OF THEIR LUNGS both nights. There's a chicken coop behind the house. You will DEFINITELY hear them crowing for hours. Could still hear all of the commotion with AC and TV on &ear plugs in. The 1 thing about the home that was impressive was the GORGEOUS kitchen but the condition of the rest of the house took away from it. Home is fixed up & run down at the same time. Got zero rest. Was an uncomfortable stay.

Five Nights in Chicago

We enjoyed our stay! Good value for the price. Host very responsive. Great location and proximity to train. No trouble finding a place to park on the street. Plenty of space for our family of five. Nice gas stove, spacious refrigerator. Clean pots and pans. Water got nice and hot. And the neighbors’ chickens out back were charming. Give this place a try!

If you are going to be out most of day

Property manager was very responsive and the communication was clear and helpful. The house was very clean. Although the neighborhood was very concerning, dirty with a lot of people standing on the block, no one was threatening and nothing happened during our stay. Parking on street was safe.

Good Stay

Had a great time at Ms. Linnie’s place! She was incredibly responsive and helpful. The house was clean and comfortable, and I loved that there were 2 full bathrooms! I was a little nervous about the neighborhood as we were definitely looked at as outsiders, but no one bothered us and we walked to Maxwell Street Polish and back just fine (which is fantastic, btw). I did love the gated yard in back with two parking spots, so we had our own space. Would definitely stay again!

Definitely gently used but was comfortable. Ms. Linnie, the host, is very responsive and accommodating. Was missing hair dryers and flat sheets on beds but did not negatively affect our visit.

Underwhelming and over priced

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.

Beautiful Home and Nearby the City

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!
