Bright Vintage U of C Center Condo with WiFi, AC in enjoyable Chicago

8/10 Good

"The queen beds were comfortable and the parking was easy. It was nice that there were so many bathrooms, so no one ever had to wait. There was no bedding for the futons/couch, we found a thin blanket to use as a sheet and we happened to bring a blanket with us, so we made do. In the common areas there isn't much comfortable seating. Someone was sleeping on the couch, so that only left the table with chairs upstairs. Be aware that when the people on the floor above walk around it is very loud. So bring ear plugs or a white noise machine. It is easily walkable to the Obama Presidential Library, which is a must see!"

Bronzeville Manor walking distance to hospitals

10/10 Excellent

"It was a lovely place to stay for my first time using VRBO. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Chicago."
