Would definitely stay here again!

Dr. Ra is such an amazing host! He checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The neighbors were super friendly too. The place was clean and spacious. This was a perfect little getaway, and was like a home away from home.

Clean apartment!!

Definitely a clean apartment! Was a little concerned about the neighborhood but we enjoyed our stay for sure! Only complaint which is pretty minor is that when we first came in, the apartment smelled very strongly of bleach and it was very overwhelming! Would stay again!

Awful Location

NOT a family friendly neighborhood, NO ON SITE PARKING. Booked to take my 7yr old a P!NK concert and was told this would be a great spot for a family. Had to park 2 blocks away. While unloading, 3 people were walking down street looking in car windows, multiple people asked us to give them our belonging and making comments to my daughter. When the host was contacted about this, he completely disregarded my feelings and my concerns about the safety of my 7yr old. We didn't even check in, we booked a hotel asap. Host REFUSED to refund any money including "cleaning" fee for a service that was NEVER rendered. Highly disappointed.

Pleasant stay, great communication

My 2 coworkers and I had a nice stay with Dr. Ra. He was very communicative and let us drop off our bags before our check in time. He also provided us with additional sheets and blankets when we asked. I liked how there were multiple keys and locks for security. The neighborhood was pretty quiet. I wish it would've been a little bit cleaner, especially the floors and living room rug and I noticed there was a bit of crusty stuff on the TV remote control. The air conditioning was great. Overall a great place for the price and felt well taken care of. Thanks Dr. Ra!

Weekend back to Chicago

Dr. Ra was great, quick response and he is a very nice and interesting person. Two bus stops near by. Go see Joaquin's front yard/garden! Quiet, clean, great front porch to enjoy the weather and have coffee!

First time in Chicago

The property was nice and clean. The landlord was pleasant. Would have liked to know that landlord lived upstairs and that there were so many keys and gates/doors to get into the property/home. Neighborhood was quiet but there was not any parking close to the home. Would have been nice to know the parking situation for better planning.

Great place to stay

The host communicated clearly, and we were comfortable. The neighborhood felt a little bit rough, but we were completely safe, and so was the car we left parked on the street while we took the train downtown.

Nice stay

Overall it was a nice stay. Dr Ray was very attentive during our stay and even let us check in early. Had no issues finding parking near by. The neighborhood was ok , I had no issues during our stay. It would take us around 25 min to reach downtown Chicago where all the attractions are. It is an affordable decent place to stay. I did not like having to go through 3 different keys/locks to go in and out of property.

Quiet Friendly neighborhood excellent Host

My two girls stayed two nights alone and my son and his wife joined us the next 4 nights. Dr.Ra was perfect. He allowed me to bring my little dog which meant a lot. He rained one day and he was so kind to leave us umbrella’s at the door. The only interaction with him besides text was the day we checked out. He was very attentive to my family and our needs. House was quiet and plenty of room for us. I do wish there was a little more kitchen items. We had a group of 5 and there was only 4 place settings but we made due. The house smelled clean and linens were clean. Absolutely no complaints. I will admit at first glance the neighborhood worried me but the neighbors were very friendly. We spoke to them daily. Parking was a worry each evening but we always seemed to find parking pretty close. I would definitely stay here again if in Chicago. Dr.Ra gets 6 STARS!!!! Thanks again for making our week in Chicago memorable and worry free!!! The Loveland’s

A great place for a great vacation

Dr. Ra was great with communication. The property was neat and clean. The beds were great. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Dr. Ra also allowed us to do a late check-out, so we wouldn't have to wander around Chicago with nothing to do until our train left. I would definitely try to stay here again if I ever return to Chicago again.

It was good. Really the only complaint we had was the parking situation. We had to park around the corner or the next street over at times because there were no spots reserved

First VRBO stay.

This was my first VRBO stay. Ive done the other one before. I will be doing this again. Dr. Ra is a very accommodating host. When it rained, he asked me how many umbrellas I needed. I said 4, and he had 4! Wild. Also, he knew whe. The trash was full. Kind gentleman with intuitive hosting skills.

Violet neighborhood

We were extremely disapointed, although our hosr was a gentleman. No one slept the night we got there, we left the next day as soon as we were able, notifing the host. We were afraid for our lives! The apartment was in distress as well, in many areas, unclean and had very stcky floors.Would like a refund

Nice 2 bedrooms with attentive host

Our stay is very comfortable. We got a whole 1st floor, private to ourselves. The room was remodeled, with enough necessities. TVs has Roku, come with Netflix. At this price range there is nothing to complaint even though the house is a bit old. We think host can improve by asking their cleaner to mob the floor better, its very dusty and switch to newer comforter. Host is very attentive and thoughtful. We came during the storm and he gave us 2 umbrella. Each room has 2 set of bath towels. Bathroom is clean, bed is clean, AC run cold. Parking on the street is first come first serve, this street is pack alll the time so you better park at the closest cross street then walk to the house. Take roughly 20-25m to reach downtown. We will stay again if comeback to Chicago.

Perfect for our weekend in Chicago!

This house was perfect for our long weekend in Chicago. It was super close to public transportation, and we easily found street parking too, so it was easy to get around no matter how we decided to travel. The area was pretty active during the day but so quiet at night. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed! And the host was always available for anything we needed while we were there! Communication with him was super easy!
