Pets are welcome! Perfect for a relaxing city escape. Message me with any questions!

Please turn to the photos to get enchanted by this stunning space but also to see the floor plan with layout and sleeping arrangements.

** SPECIAL FEATURES **
• Large open-plan living/dining area with a fireplace
• Covered porch
• Large enclosed backyard

- Air conditioning and central heating
- Detached 2-car garage
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
- Free luggage storage in the garage and extended free parking (before check-in and after check-out, if available)
- Free EV charger


**BEDS**
- Bedroom 1: 1 king and 1 single
- Bedroom 2: 2 queen-size beds
- Bedroom 3: 1 single
Plus a small double futon, 4 single floor mattresses and a crib

**EXTRAS**
- Late check-out at 1 pm: $80
- Early check-in at 1 pm: $80
- Worry-free cleaning package: $80 (details below)
***IMPORTANT** Payment arrangements must be made in advance for these services. I do not have access to your credit card.

**ACCESSIBILITY**
8 steps to the front door, 15 steps from the main floor to the second.

**NOISE**
The Brown Line train runs nearby, so you may hear it in certain parts of the house.

**HOUSE RULES**
- Unregistered guests are not allowed on the property. The presence of more than 14 guests is unlawful. A guest is anyone at the property, staying the night, or just visiting.
- Minors need to have a responsible adult present.
- Primary booker is required to stay on the property and provide an ID. Also, IDs will need to be provided prior to your arrival for everyone spending any time at the property.
- There is a counter installed to identify the number of guests at the house. I utilize a private security firm. If the counter shows more than the registered number of people or if I get a noise complaint from neighbors, security will be immediately dispatched. A $200 dispatch fee will be charged from your security deposit. Should they be unsuccessful in removing you from the premises, they will involve the police.
- This is not a place for a local house party.

**WORRY-FREE CLEANING PACKAGE**
At check-out you will need to take care of trash overflow, dishes, exuberant messes, and any food you brought. The worry-free package covers any and all cleaning. Just walk out in the morning (you do need to move furniture back if you make any changes to layout). Note that this fee is additional to my regular cleaning fee you pay when you book the place. This package is best for those who want to decorate, cook a lot, are traveling as a group, and would rather split the extra fee than worry about anything in the morning.

**DECORATING THE HOUSE**
Feel free to decorate but use paint-safe tape and remove it before departure. Glitter or confetti incurs a $200 cleaning fee.

**WILDLIFE**
You will encounter wildlife while staying at the property. Here is what you can expect most commonly:
Spiders and ants are common in Chicago. They get as high as 95th floor of John Hancock building. While we do our best to combat them, it is nearly impossible during high season.
Bees, wasps, yellow jackets are abundant throughout the city. While we take care of any nests on the property, I cannot control them in the air and beyond my boundaries.

**BREAKDOWNS**
We strive to keep all equipment in good working order but can’t guarantee that things won’t break. Mechanical failures, weather, interruptions of utilities, or issues with TV/Internet won’t be grounds for refunds or rental adjustments. If anything malfunctions, we’ll work to resolve it as soon as possible.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Second City. A gym and laundry facilities are available. The vacation home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Great!

We had a great vacation getaway here. The house is beautifully updated inside. Inna proactively communicated with us about the "heat dome" in Chicago and she had already taken steps to make sure we were comfortable. We have been to Chicago quite a bit over the years. The location is great because you are in a local neighborhood without the large crowds down by the riverwalk and pier. The main sites in Chicago are a quick uber ride away. There are plenty of stores within walking distance and we did not need a car. We walked to the beach from here (there are beach towels) and enjoyed Second City. There is plenty of room to spread out which is helpful when you are traveling with teenagers who value their independence! Thank you, Inna!
