Great location!

Convenient location and very responsive host. Place is clean and nicely decorated. Bold detail needed on walk up stairs more difficult for older guest.

The property was great! The property location is even better!! The parking garage is only a block from the property.The check-in process, specifically the location and quantity of lockboxes, could be helpful in the dark of night while stopped on busy street in the cold.

Good stay

Place was nice. A tall, tight stairway to the front door - wasn't an issue for me, but definitely could be for others.

Great Walking Access to Chicago Fun

Condo had a good setup. Easy walking access to everything for our visit - restaurants, museums, shopping, bars, river. the only downside is significant outside noise til early morning from the nightclub and bar to either side. great location if you are night owl!

One of the worst stays I've ever had

IMPORTANT: this listing is for a 4th floor walk-up with no option for an elevator. This is not made clear in the listing and was not provided as information until check-in instructions were sent. Owner attempted to extort money out of me at check-in. They withheld check-in instructions citing the need to pay an "invoice" until I called VRBO customer service. Online description was inaccurate - there is no second bedroom with a queen bed and twin bed - that bedroom only has a full-sized bed. Place was unclean and unsafe - there was a large area of exposed electrical wires and when I went to use the make-up towel and opened it, a bunch of small hairs fell out, so clearly it had not been washed. They automatically lock the door at checkout time. We were packing the car to leave and at 11:06am went to get our dog out of the apartment (we left her in there while we were packing the car), and the door was locked with our dog inside and out code no longer worked. 6 minutes over is not that serious (since we had to carry all our luggage down 4 flights of stairs it took longer than anticipated), and we were not told in advance that the door would lock at 11:01am.

Amazing Location

This is a very comfortable space with a lot of room. We were almost right above a great bar to drink and sing karaoke. Also, we had an amazing dinner at Tao. You can walk to a lot of great options and grab an Uber quickly almost anywhere else in the city. I will definitely check if this property is available again the next time I am in the city.

amazing location and cute place, poor communication

i enjoyed the VRBO and photos look exactly like the real thing, that being said the whole process was stressful as the hosts did not communicate with me the weeks leading up to the trip, despite my many attempts to contact them. Additionally despite booking for 5, we only received two towels and no air mattress despite it being booked for 5 people (and having to pay for five people). Once the trip began hosts were much more responsive but did not receive the air mattress and extra towels until the second night. The property is wonderful but it was a stressful experience leading up to the trip for me.

Good first time Chicago experience

First time VRBO’ers. We loved where this fourth floor walkup is located in downtown Chicago. It was a very comfortable stay for us. Clean linens and lots of floor space. The windows up front provide an excellent birdseye view of the street below. One bedroom up front and the master bedroom at the back of the property. Wifi no issues. The host was attentive to our inquiries. We wish we had known that Mom’s Place next door conducted late karaoke or played loud music until 2am in the morning (booming bass is difficult to block), the stairs inside the walkup are steep, narrow and winding. Don’t forget to bring your Chromecast device to plug into the provided television.

Right next to one of the hottest nightclubs in town, Club Tao. Free parking supplied by the owner is a big plus as well.
