Great place to stay
This happened to be a prime location for us visiting family for the holiday. The outdoor space was not as useful as I had anticipated as the backyard is full of raised beds and furniture. The renovated bathroom did not have a bathtub or counter space but was useful and enough for me, my husband, and our three youngest children. The bathroom closet and under sink shelf provided plenty of storage. There were ample towels and washcloths provided as well. The bedrooms had wonderful black out window shades, night stands, and dressers or desks to place our luggage on. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was appropriate for Chicago late fall. There were closets with laundry baskets and clothes hanging space. We used the washer and dryer and appreciated the provided laundry detergent when we noticed we forgot to pack any. The kitchen had all the necessary dishes and utensils. There was not much space to pack away our food into cabinets or a pantry but it worked out just fine. The TV was simple to use and log into the streaming services we wanted. The living room gave us plenty of space to relax on comfy furniture as well as spread out puzzles and toys on the floor. The neighborhood does not have sidewalks but is very walkable. The neighbors are friendly and the houses are well-maintained.

Perfectly kept house in quiet neighborhood
We stayed for 8 nights as I had surgery at a nearby hospital. The bathroom was large and fully stocked with nice linens and options for everything we needed. The kitchen had everything from crock pot and cheese grater to basic condiments. Beds were comfortable with nice linens. Hosts were nearby and popped over immediately to shovel and salt when needed. Very nice washer and dryer, which was a great convenience. Can't say enough about this great rental and its host.

Awesome Experience
This house was great! We were here for Navy Graduation. 12 minutes to the base. Everything we needed was at the house and then some! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Wonderful host.

Excellent Location
Overall, we enjoyed our weeklong stay here. We loved having the full use of a house with a driveway for our rental car. The house was fairly clean upon arrival and the homeowner was very responsive to questions we had. The hardwood floors were a bit squeaky between the master bedroom and bathroom. I would have preferred a bit stiffer a pillow since the ones here were very flat. Just minor things like the pilllow but we would definitely stay here again if we’re on this side of town.

Perfect for Navy Graduation!
This property is a little gem. Not more than 10 minutes from the entrance to PIR graduation without the hassle of hotel living. Heinen's grocery is right around the corner and there are many restaurants to choose from. I will miss El Norte! Loved the brand new towels, soft and fluffy, and also the bedding was super! Slept great and visited in a homey comfy living room. Yes, I would totally do this again!
