This was a good spot of 7 of our employees to stay during a week long work trip with work around the West Loop. The check-in/check-out process was easy and good for a group trip. We were able to give everyone their own bedroom and minimize bathroom sharing. Bedrooms varied in size, but each had a queen sized bed and enough space to get around the bed.
A few things we wish we'd known before we booked:
- This is two separate (but neighboring) units with 3 bedrooms on the upper unit and 4 in the lower unit (which has two floors). Both are accessed from the rear of the building.
- This booking was made through VRBO, but once booked, nothing showed up on the VRBO portal because this is handled by a property management company (per VRBO). While the host was communicative during the process confirming that we were still set - the lack of clarity on the booking platform required us to be in constant contact with the host for questions.
We had some issues with bugs and smells on the lower unit. Bugs were what could be expected of a basement unit, but were present - and the smell seemed like the unit may have been pet friendly.
The upper unit was still being cleaned when we arrived, and the folks staying in that unit needed to do a little additional cleaning once they arrived.
Overall, a fine spot for a group. It's certainly a rental property and has a few imperfections, but definitely hit the mark on value.
