I highly recommend this property! It was the perfect fit for our 6 adults, 4 kids multi-family stay. The house was spacious and beautifully decorated. We commented multiple times throughout our stay at how well stocked the house was. The host was attentive and helpful throughout! We attended events in both downtown Chicago and neighboring suburbs during our stay, and this location was convenient for both. We would definitely stay here again!

This was an excellent experience. Commu ication from Stacey (our host) was timely, accurate, and informative. The home was very clean when we arrived and the listing was accurate. The beds are very comfortable. This property is in a very quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again.
