Kitchen was equipped well. Ceilings are very low. If you are tall you want to consider. I am 5’4” and could touch ceiling everywhere with a flat palm standing on n flat feet. Otherwise comfy.

My daughter and I stayed at this location last month and we really enjoyed our stay!!! The lower level apartment was super clean, very comfortable, and in a great location, so close to bus stops and the train was just a quick walk away! The neighborhood was also very safe and quiet. Our host had fantastic communication and made sure everything was just right for our stay, giving us helpful tips about the area. He also provided parking permits for our car and we loved being able to keep it just outside the house! We really have fond memories of staying here and will definitely look for it the next time we’re visiting the area!!! Thank you for everything, Jed!

I'll confirm that the ceilings are low. That said, clearly states that in the description. Even with, nicely set up level with furniture, dining table and refrigerator/freezer. Even a microwave. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the temperature was pleasant. Lovely neighborhood with many stores and food places nearby. Host was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.

Great space for sisters trip

We could not be more pleased with our long weekend stay here. Before the trip, all communication was quick and seamless. Check in was easy. Two comfortable bedrooms, a cozy living room area, dining room, and full kitchen (with eat in table). Also, a walk in pantry! The bathroom was clean and stocked (couldn't figure out how to stop the tub for a bath but that didn't detract overall). The neighborhood was a great choice. Easy walking distance to grocery store (Jewel Osco),a a FANTASTIC diner (Sunshine Restaurant, with a friendly old couple running it... They will know your preferences after one visit and treat you like beloved family by the end of your stay).. Heck, you can even walk a few blocks to a Goodwill if you want to pick up Cubs gear before hopping on the bus (a block from the apartment) to get to Wrigley. We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect for a long weekend in Chicago. Space was more than big enough for our group of 4. Everything was very clean. We didn't make anything except coffee in the kitchen, but it looked like it would have worked well if we didn't have other plans.
