Everything was good just washing machine was not working and dish washer wasn’t operating good and there was enough toiletries

Chateau Cassandra
We had a very pleasant stay! The home is just a few short blocks from the Wells Street Beach near the Indiana Dunes National Park. The home was modern and clean, with plenty of amenities. Our host was very responsive and helpful. The location is also just a few miles from the Portage South Shore rail station, allowing for an easy trip into Chicago. If you're looking for a relaxing stay near the Indiana Dunes, don't hesitate to stay here!

Executive Apartment on Lake Michigan with parking
Man this place was awesome! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Everything was the way it was described. Definitely coming back!

Miller Beach Dune House
The return trip was even better than the first! We enjoyed the balcony, the woods across the street add to the relaxation. The uncrowded beach made the sunset even better

Cannabis Condo 4BR
Shomari was a great host, very friendly and gave great recommendations. We had all the towels and he had toiletry items in the bathroom and cooking items (spices, extra drinks) in the kitchen. My girls and I didn’t feel unsafe in the area, although finding street parking on the block can be tough, depending on the time of day. His place is a 25-30 min drive to downtown, soldier field and McCormick place, it can be less or more depending on the traffic. It was a great stay and I would recommend.

Steps from the beach and a mile from National Park
Simply beautiful! My daughter ( 7 year old) and my goddaughter ( 5 year old) enjoyed themselves! We loved the layout, beautiful scenery, spacious rooms, the updated amenities, the spa bathtub and the outdoor patio swing is amazing! This house is somewhere you can relax and rewind, enjoy yourself and feel safe at! Angie, is the best! I recommend you stay at Angie’s beach house! You will love this house!!!!!!

Miller Mermaid Suite-100 yds from the beach!
My friend and I truly enjoyed your home. Peaceful and in a perfect location. I truly enjoyed the mermaid art. It was the best hideaway for us. She needed a place to recover. Peanut also was very happy. Thank you.

Historic lux Townhouse on Chicago's Gold Coast
The house was beautiful and in a very nice, safe neighborhood. There was some construction going on next door, but other than that, the place was everything we hoped it would be. We stayed here while we got married at a nearby venue in River North and it was able to accommodate our bridal party during our getting ready session and provide a quiet place to rest once our wedding was over.

Demitri was very thorough in description, comfort and location. The place was very comfortable and spacious. When I needed something, Dimitri responded immediately. I felt I was in very good hands, and I made a great choice for Evanston.

We had an excellent time here. Our whole dance team was able to stay comfortably and safely. We managed to fit 5 cars in the parking which was essential to us. It was all clean close to everything we came to Chicago for. The communication with the host was great and always prompt. We loved it here.

1 Mi to Indiana Dunes Nat'l Park: Home w/ Patio!
Great place with plenty of room. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach (2 minute walk) and Indiana Dunes National Park. The fire pit and backyard were nice to relax at the end of the day.

Demitri is an extremely responsive and friendly host. All of my communications were responded to within 10 minutes. The apartment is as described and looks like the pictures. Other reviews mention street noise and they are correct - the apartment is right on a busy road. The street noise did not bother us but if you're sensitive to such things you should take that into consideration. You can also hear the upstairs neighbor walking (stomping lol?) around a lot. So another thing to consider if that might bother you. The area is very walkable: multiple restaurants on Main Street are within a 15 minute walk, and several Lake Michigan parks are literally around the corner. The L light rail station is also about a 15 minute walk away. We didn't have (or need) a car during our stay (Demitri let us drop our luggage off early). Strong and reliable WIFI internet. A nice apartment in a great location for the price.

Clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed apt. Emily and Roya are helpful and communicative, and all the instructions and photos made things very easy. Would happily stay there again!

Historic Manor House Private Guest Suite Evanston
Great location. Janet was a great host and was extremely responsive for any questions we had. Definitely recommend for those looking to get a true taste of an Evanston residential neighborhood

Pool & Beach Haven-private pool, steps to beach!
What a wonderful stay we had in Matthew's beautiful beach house! The house was perfectly clean with all the listed amenities and more. Thoughtful welcome gifts, very well-appointed kitchen and bathrooms, and great linens. The pool area was clean and beautiful, and there were ample pool toys, lawnchairs, seating, etc. The layout of the home is perfect -- there are many seating areas for different groups to have their own conversations and a very large kitchen/dining table for all to be together. The beach is steps away, and there is almost no one there so it is private and expansive. Matthew provided so much information about the local things to do and see --- I was born and raised in the area and did not know about some of them! I really cannot say enough about the place or Matthew's generous and communicative hosting style. We came here on the recommendation of a prior guest and we are so glad we did!

Only Urban Beach House in Chicago
This is a beautiful, old house right by the park and beach, plus a playground and adorable summer snack shack just a few minutes walk away. There's a lovely private back yard and deck for summer evenings. We especially appreciated the kitchen, which was well-stocked with all the dishes and equipment we needed to cook full meals for our large family. We stayed for an extended time, and whenever anything came up, our wonderful hosts were quick to respond and help. Thanks Keith for your hospitality!

Lakefront Family Retreat w/ Grill: Steps to Beach!
This property is literally right on the beach. Almost every window in the house looks out onto the lake with beautiful views. We loved our stay here.

Gold Coast Pristine 3BD|2BR| Patio |Parking| Views
Great location for walking to the beach, shopping, and dining. We were able to check in a little early and leave our luggage while the cleaners were in the apt. Parking in the garage next door was super convenient. There are stairs to the unit, which wasn’t an issue for us, but Rasheed still helped get our luggage upstairs!
