In Town for Promat Expo at McCormick Place

What a wonderful way to experience our first time to spend more than a few hours in Chicago! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Had about 3 seasons worth of weather during our time in town, was very interesting. The home is comfy and unique. Shopping centers are very convenient to the property. Thanks so much for a fantastic stay at your property :)))))

All Good in Kenwood

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Quiet location, with nice restaurants in the area and a short distance to the paths along the lake. We were in town for a wedding, and there was ample room for our group. We all slept well, and enjoyed all the unique spaces in the home.

Great Place!

We came into Chicago for the weekend and spent two nights at this property. It's very spacious and quite comfortable. Parking is on the street but we had no trouble finding a spot right out front and then took an Uber everywhere in the city. We would definitely stay here again.

Affordable and lovely

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The updated home was clean and featured an eclectic assortment of fun furniture arranged with various nooks for family members to find a place to chat or relax. We all agreed our beds were very comfortable. We were delighted to use the paddles and pickleballs provided by the host, there is a court located a short walk from the house. It was very easy to walk a few minutes and catch a bus uptown, less than 30 minutes total to get right in the heart of the city. We would definitely stay here again, thanks Reggie!

Home away from home

The property is beautiful and spacious. The pics on the site were identical. The small patio was especially a tie breaker for me and my family. It was equipped with patio furniture and grills. The kitchen had all necessary appliances and seasoning allowing us to prepare dishes for the family reunion. The home had more than enough towels in both bathrooms and the 1/2 bathroom was a beauty.

Our Chicago Oasis

Our entire stay was “smooth sailing!” for us. Reggie was caring, profesional and responsive to our needs. He made provisions for an early check-in and, when asked, mentioned the possibility of a late checkout as long as the schedule didn’t conflict with the arrival of other guests.The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. We rented a car and had no issues finding parking, regardless of the time. You’ll find some fast food spots (chinese, fry chicken and fish) nearby, as well as a Supermarket, Trader Joe’s, Ross’ Department Store. Even if you’re not renting a car you should be able to get around using Ubber service and/or public transportation to some extent. The property is fabulous, plenty of space to entertain small intimate family gatherings, bridal parties, yoga/gastronomy workshops, small lover’s retreats.The bedrooms are spacious, private, and the beds comfortable.The kitchen is fully decked: with all the pots/pans, utensils, and spices you could possibly need, and then some. Overall, Reggie (and wife) thought about everything! So grateful for the bottled water! Need needle and thread? Just look inside the bathroom cabinet drawer, Do you need hangers for your clothes?Check the walk-in closets, plenty of hangers there. Need an extra blanket? You’re sure to find a couple as well. Did you forget your robe? We have some of those too! More than a “vacation spot” you will feel the warmness of home, my new Chicago home! Thanks for your outstanding hospitality.

Great House, Terrific Location

This home was a great home base for us for a week we spent touring Chicago. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe and it was always easy to find parking right in front of the home. With a Trader Joe's a very short drive away, we did cook quite a bit and found everything we needed an appreciated that there was a nice supply of spices and some foil, plastic bags, etc. for leftovers. There was some construction going on next door, though it never started that early or ran that late, so it did not disturb us. Might be a problem if someone wanted to nap midday, if it is still continuing. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of space for our family to spread out. We had a great stay and would absolutely reserve again the next time we are in the area.

Beautiful home, Fantastic Owner

Just cant say enough about how great our experience was! First the house is absolutely beautiful. The neighborhood is quiet, the décor is modern, the Beds are comfortable and it is well stocked with all the amenities. Then there's Reggie, who went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed! I would give it 6 stars if I could. Hidden Chicago gem
