Historic luxury Townhouse in Downtown Chicago

We stayed at this townhome because our daughter was running in the Chicago marathon. The location could NOT have been any better. It is a very short walk to the Magnificent Mile and close to the race start/finish, and there are grocery and restaurant options nearby. We were looking for a four bedroom place and I couldn't find anything else that fit the bill, so we are very glad to have had this. The home is old, so has some issues that one might expect. However, on top of those, the floors were not very clean, the fan above the stovetop didn't work, and there were even some tips of nails (the sharp part!) sticking out of the hall floor on the third floor. The radiators are extremely noisy when heating up. One should know that it is 39 steps from the main level to the master (which was not a problem for us). The property managers were very responsive to inquiries before, during and after our stay. Having noted all that, we were happy with our stay overall.

Beautiful neighborhood close to Restaurants bars and shopping. This VRBO is lovely inside with lots of space and a well stocked kitchen. Anytime we asked a question the host responded almost immediately. We had a wonderful time here and we highly recommend.

This was an amazing place. Beautiful architecture, tons of space for a large group, well appointed kitchen with everything we needed, comfy beds, easy communication with the management. Thank you for a great stay!

If safety and customer service are your top priorities then do not rent this house. There was a mix up in the booking schedule and we showed up early to our reservation. That's when we found out that the door codes we were given to access the property were the same keys that they give all the renters. The codes we had were already programmed in and the key locks were open. The current renters were still inside the house when we walked in. When we contacted the owners and asked why we had the same door codes as the current renters they dismissed the situation claiming that they change the codes regularly. They refused to answer us as to why we were given codes several days in advance that matched the same access codes as the current renters. When we stated that we no longer felt safe or comfortable staying in a property with such lax security the owners refused to give a refund and let us cancel. AT NO TIME DID THEY OFFER ANY POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS! They ignored our questions regarding the security concerns and only responded that if we canceled we were not eligible for a refund. We called customer support and they were also concerned about he security and called the owners. Again the owners refused to allow us to cancel and still did nothing to offer a solution to the problem. It wasn't till the customer support manager asked them if they would be willing to immediately change the security codes that the owners finally agreed to anything. DO NOT TRUST THIS PROPER

The place was fantastic for our family get together. A real treat if you haven’t stayed in an 1880’s townhome before. Yet it’s updated and feels modern as well. Place was clean when we arrived, no issues. The location is among the action but also in its own quiet corner so you feel you can escape the city. Three floors means a lot of stairs, so if you’re mobility challenged keep that in mind. Our early model Toyota Camry fit the garage, but check the provided dimensions cause it really is tight. We were very thankful this home was available to rent cause it’s something we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. Hope to be back!

Gorgeous, large townhouse. We loved the location and the townhouse itself. The lock box was a little confusing because there are 2. In the age of door codes, I wasn’t expecting this. Another word of note: the staircase is old and the wood is worn on some places. If you have small children or someone who is unstable on their feet you might want to consider this.

I had thought about leaving a bland “this place is good” type review, however those are all the reviews that I read when booking this place, and wish I had some more honest input given the price. The place is in a great location. There was awesome communication up until the actual rental started, and the owner even reimbursed us for some purchases when we said we wanted beach chairs! It was looking to be a really great trip. Upon arrival, the cleaning crew / house manager was there (we arrived a little early). We were then informed that the toilet on the second floor was broken. At first I thought no big deal, they said it would be fixed in a day. The toilet was covered with a black trash bag, which just felt a bit gross, but we still were excited. We then realized that half of the stove burners weren’t working, and the ovens were quite unpredictable. Additionally, there was old food in the stove knobs, crusted in there, and it was clear no one had really made an attempt to clean them. I contacted the house manager and she continued to respond regarding the toilet, but did not address the stove / oven issue. The house was also extremely hot. This is July in Chicago, and the AC really only works on the 3rd floor. And even then, the small top room with bunk beds got zero air flow and was unbearably hot. The other room up there was freezing due to us trying to crank the air to keep the rest of the house cool. The AC never really reached the 2nd or 1st floors, so we constantly repositioned the one fan that was in the house depending on where we were. The back room of the kitchen was an obvious extension, which was fine, but again it was so hot it was hard to be in there. That is where the tv is, and many of the tv hookups weren’t connected and we struggled to be able to watch anything (even when trying to log into our own apps). The sofa and chair were quite disgusting with stains and hair all over them. We had planned to cook multiple meals & were unable to do so. lack of response from the property manager regarding the state of the kitchen was quite frustrating. The house itself is old, which we had expected, but it doesn’t appear to have been maintained given the state of the kitchen and bathrooms. At one point the property manager asked us if we left the water running because the basement was flooded. We hadn’t. But they insisted they had to come in. During that time, neither the kitchen nor bathroom / toilet situation were addressed.

The is a beautiful historic home in a prime location just off Magnificent Mile. The home was clean and spacious. The garage was a plus. The house is conveniently located in the heart of Chicago with easy access to all Chicago’s neighborhoods. Gibson’s Steakhouse and the Original House of Pancakes are on the same street and both were hits with my teenagers. Communication with the property manager was timely and he made it easy to check in and out. I would highly recommend this property for your next trip to Chicago.

Can not say enough about how much my family has been raving about our stay at your incredible home. The location put us smack in the middle of everything we wanted to see and we ended up walking to everything (even with ages from 9 months to 70!). On that note, thank y'all for including so many touches to make it easier with the little one. From the high chair, to the pack-n-play with an extra mattress and cover, everything we needed was there. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful old Gold Coast Townhouse within walking distance of everything we needed. Spacious accommodations with a lovely large dining area and comfortable TV lounging area at back of house. Close to plenty of dining options and Lake Michigan. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and bedding. Plenty of towels, coffee and tea. Comfy robes in every bedroom. Overall a wonderful experience.

As a whole everything was great. We stayed as a family (all adults) to run the Chicago Half Marathon. Location was perfect and very convenient for both the race and to enjoy shopping and eating out. However, upon arrival there were dirty sheets in the bathtub as well as towels and sheets in the washer and dryer. It was clear that the cleaning staff did not finish cleaning on time. Thankfully, they were very receptive and offered to come take care of things upon messaging. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!

It was great to stay in a beautiful grey stone in Gold Coast. Better yet it is located in an excellent area, less than 1/4 mile walking distance to the lake, around the corner from Michigan Avenue shopping, the Hancock Building, the Drake, Lou Malnati's and other great restaurants, and pharmacy-- we walked to all of these places! It felt like a home away from home with the layout of the home and nice neighborhood. It was stocked up with everything one needs in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and family spaces. The interior was clean, welcoming and nicely decorated. My family was in town for my daughter's wedding and it was the perfect house for pre- and post-wedding activities. From when I reserved the house almost a year ago, to checking in, to checking out, were seamless. Julian was very responsive and clearly communicated all relevant information for the stay. It was noted the internet was not working upon check in, I notified Julian and in less than a couple hours, we had internet. The entire stay of 5 days were wonderful for me and my family. The experience setting it up to sadly checking out were pretty straightforward and easy. A big thank you to Julian and Jackie for the positive experience and the hospitality!

You could not ask for a better location if you want the city-feel. We loved it! Restaurants and shops are just walking distance away.The house is gorgeous. It's an updated home that was originally built in the 1890s. It's a classic.

We were here from new jersey, virginia and indiana for my sons wedding it was absoluey fantastic awesome location and very cozy

Unbeatable location, lovely separate sitting areas, well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, a feeling of homey luxury. We were five childhood friends getting together for a long weekend. Space worked well, though would be *even* better for families or couples due to bedroom arrangements (three couples plus kids in the bunk room, for example). Cabinets had coffee, sugar, basic spices, fridge clean and clear for our grocery delivery. Lots of rules and notes about things like quiet hours and using makeup towels vs. white towels posted around the house, which made it feel like someone's home even though I think it's a management company. We giggled about this, thinking they must have had some strange guests in the past. We would stay again, no hesitation. Accommodated our slightly early arrival/bag drop. Easy entry and exit.

Beautiful space in a charming neighborhood, with easy access to the key places in the city. This is a unique space that worked for all of us. We really enjoyed our visit.

Always love coming here with family . Perfect location for playing in the city. Great space for togetherness and also time apart.

The house is really great as is the location. I generally find that AirBNB/VRBO properties tend to be much worse in reality than they seem in the listing, but I actually think they undersell this property. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to the messaging from the host after booking until check in. Host was very serious about no parties/events (we had no intention of this) and that post-10pm (the listing says 11pm, feels like bait and switch) must be quiet, and if not the host will call private security/evict you/shut off power and water. These are pretty serious measures to throw around and made me feel very uneasy despite having no intention of having a party. Perhaps they did have a bad experience in the past but threat of eviction/shutting off power and water is too serious unless I would have broken some law with the noise, but the mention of private security made me feel that the bar for "noise" could be unreasonably low.
