Safe, Quiet street. Perfect Location.

The four of us enjoyed our stay in the beautiful brownstone property on Cedar. The location was perfect for walking everywhere from Second City to the Art Institute. We were able to comfortably visit together but had privacy at the same time. The restaurants and nightclubs were right around the corner and we enjoyed several of them. Cedar is a very quiet residential street and sleeping was easy and we felt safe and right at home.

Not so First Class Chicago

Stayed in multiple units in this brownstone during November/December. Accommodations were nice and the units were nicely furnished. Some things were, in my opinion, not up to par. It was really drafty and cold, especially in the bedrooms. It was much warmer in the living areas, which is where my little ones had to end up sleeping because it was too cold in the bedroom.
Service: In one of the units, the TV was not working; called the service number provided in the manual (where they said that they would get back "right away"); they did not call back for days - the day we were to check out of that unit! Needless to say, service was slow, so if you have a problem, you may have trouble getting it fixed.
Appliances: The washing machine is not safe to use - we unfortunately used it and had all the clothes ruined! They all have small holes in them - I assume from something snagging in the washer or dryer. One of the other units had a hole in the microwave, so we did not feel like it was safe to use. They really need to check/update their appliances.
Kitchen:The kitchen was not well stocked with cooking utensils and pots, although there we plenty of cups and a good number of plates; this is probably fine for the majority of people who go to stay there and go out to eat anyway, but not for us.
Cleanliness: good to fair. I don't like to see dust balls in the corner and crumbs and dust on the counters, so I was not too happy with the cleaning that had been done prior to our arrival. Otherwise the main traffic areas were suitable.
For most people staying there, these accommodations are probably fine, but it was not the best for us.

We stayed in your home for our 20 anniversary of our annual Girl's Weekend and we had an absolutely fantastic time staying in you home. It was so convenient to everything and the place was beautiful. The accomodations were very easy and comfortable. I have recommended this to so many people already and would definitely recommend this over a hotel stay for any family or group.
Thanks for sharing your home.

There were three retired couples on a road trip which started in Missouri before arriving in Chicago. From here we were heading to upper Michigan and a visit to Mackinaw Island. We had a wonderful trip, but our regret was that we had not allowed more time in Chicago. The location of this Brownstone was absolutely perfect and we found the city of Chicago just delightful. The car was parked in a parking lot just down the street for our entire visit. We either walked or called a cab, which was very reasonable. It was a mere four block from the John Hancock building where we had a delightful afternoon cocktail on the 96th floor. The restaurants were plentiful and we were fortunate to select great ones with outstanding food. Hugo's Frog Bar and Fish House had the Biggest and Tastiest crab cakes we had ever put in our mouths!!! The steaks at Morton's Steak House were so tender you could cut them with your fork! As the coordinator of this group trip, it is my desire to return to Chicago and take advantage of this delightful Brownstone again in the future.
