Christopher's place is really nice and clean.He is helpful and welcoming.I felt right at home and would recommend his place.He is definitely a 5stars host.
Darshan2017-03-28T00:00:00ZClean and quite place, nice room and kitchen.
Artem2017-04-30T00:00:00ZPlace is very quiet. The apartment is smart. The room is excellent. But, you need to have a car. Christopher is very good man. I want to stay here again, on July.
IUrii2017-04-12T00:00:00ZIt is a very quiet and clean place to stay. Chris is extremely nice and helps you get acquainted in any way possible. It is also in a great location to be able to visit the city and all the suburbs around.

Perfect location, Deborah went out of her way to accommodate us and to provide recommendations on shopping/dining. Friendly dog, friendly hosts! You will not regret staying at Deborah's place.
Erik2017-03-28T00:00:00Z10+ on everything! Debby was warm and friendly and very helpful! The place was so nice! A good-sized mother-in-law suite with everything you could ever need or want! The place itself was very clean and comfortable! The proximity to Chicago activities and the safe, beautiful neighborhood made the location perfect! Great value! I will NEVER stay anywhere else in the Chicago area again! This is my first AIRBNB experience and the standard has now been set very high!

Jim was a wonderful host and the studio was very nice. It was in a quiet town next to a beautiful lake. The patio outside was beautiful!
Annie2016-07-29T00:00:00ZJim is an outstanding host! His studio is clean, open and refreshing! The common room leads onto a lovely outside patio for relaxation or work. You will not be disappointed!
caren2016-05-16T00:00:00ZJim is a fantastic host, he'll do absolutely anything for you. The location is sweet, everyone was super friendly and amazing.
Francesca2017-05-01T00:00:00ZThe apt we stayed in was in a great location, on site parking, and a super comfortable bed. Lush lakefront park literally across street with beach access, picnic tables, benches. Perfect for relaxing . I enjoyed some reading time there before even checking in to Jim's airbnb. The building is from 1800s, yet inside is modern, clean, well decorated. The village shops are along the street and deserve exploring. Offbeat music store just downstairs for the music enthusiast. As for our host, he was personable, kind , beyond considerate and helpful. We enjoyed our visit thoroughly. As suggested by previous reviews, and our host, we indulged in a great meal from Craving Gyros just a few hundred feet away. We also found the location convenient to Northbrook and Lake Forest , where we had events planned .
Traci2016-08-25T00:00:00ZEasy to communicate and work with. When my plans changed, he was willing to accomodate which was very helpful.
Eric2017-02-19T00:00:00ZThis stay was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!! Jim is friendly, smart funny and has a great sense of humor. I felt like I was visiting an old friend. The place is like a museum you could spend the first hour just looking at his artwork. He also run's this fantastic record shop in the same building. There were a few of us staying, he took the time to show us where all the shops and sites are. There were beers in the fridge and a full working kitchen. This would be a great place for a romantic weekend getaway.
Joe2016-08-23T00:00:00ZGreat place and great value. Jim was a fantastic host and was in constant communication and proximity since he lives 15 ft away and owns the music shop on the ground floor. Nice place. Pretty small, but if you read the description you know that already. Lake Zurich is a neat town and there are 3 well kept beaches and areas within walking distance.
Jon2016-08-03T00:00:00ZI really enjoyed my stay! The room was nice and the amenities were great! I was definitely glad to have chosen to stay here instead of a Hotel.

Lanna's place was very nice. It was clean and super homey!
Leydi2017-02-18T00:00:00ZVery nice, clean, updated. Exactly like the pictures. Our first night I didn't see a hair dryer so I messaged Lanna about it. She dropped one off right way-even though it was 10:30 pm on a Friday! We really enjoyed our stay.
Stephanie2017-03-14T00:00:00ZBeautifully decorated and comforatable space for our visit to family in Barrington. We were able to cook breakfasts for the kids and have quiet nights. Thanks, Lanna!
Jenny2017-04-09T00:00:00ZGreat beds! Three very comfortable beds. We sleep on a Tempura pedic, so these were very comfortable beds even for us.
Brenda2017-03-20T00:00:00ZLooks just like the pictures. Very clean and neat. Enjoyed our stay.
Anjanette2017-04-30T00:00:00ZThe house was exactly what we needed, perfect size, perfect location, just right for our family. Very specious, comfortable, and with comfortable big beds. Quiet and peaceful. Thanks for hosting!
Lidija2017-04-16T00:00:00ZThe interior looks EXACTLY like the photos & I highly appreciate that. Lanna's home was SPOTLESS super clean--perfect! The decor is really cool & androgynous. My husband & I loved the memory foam mattress. Sleep &was the goal. Great Get-A-Way!

Kayla provided the perfect place for me with a comfortable bed and quiet location. I was just staying for one night and it was a great accommodation.
June2017-01-23T00:00:00ZEnjoyed our quick 1night stay, 25 mins from the airport. Kayla was quick to respond to our request. Very sweet and hospitable, oh and we loved her dog. We definitely would stay again.
Patty2016-12-11T00:00:00ZIt was a nice room close to where I needed to be. It worked for me for the time I was there.
Renee2017-02-20T00:00:00ZGreat place. Great dog.
Katie2017-02-25T00:00:00ZWhile it was quiet and convenient, there was dust, cobwebs and it needed to be vacuumed, and the bathroom mirrors had toothoaste splatters and dust and hair around the sink. There was dog dirt in the bed when we got there, also. Thee was another couple staying, which we were not aware of until last minute, so Kayla gave us her room and left. Had we know this was a possibility we would have chosen another facility. Unfortunately, the other people were not considerate! Kayla was very pleasant, her dog was friendly, but we were left with her dog, and needed to potty her for a couple days as Kayla was gone. I was not comfortable with this. This was my traveling companion's first experience with AirBnB, and she is not sure she will ever use them again.
Karol2017-03-07T00:00:00ZKayla and Maddie were great hosts. They provided a quiet stay in a safe neighborhood. I slept well each night and looked forward to returning each evening where Maddie greated me at the door with tail wagging. She is a well mannered dog that was welcoming but not overbearing.
Mike2016-12-30T00:00:00ZIt was a comfy stay. Kayla is very friendly. Only problem is the address shows on airbnb was not the same as she actually lives. So I knocked the wrong door when I arrived. Kayla said she would figure out then.

A comfy and relaxing place to stay, right on a lake. If the opportunity arises we'll be back.
Ralph2017-02-03T00:00:00ZWe are reverse snowbirds, fleeing the heat of Florida for the summer. We had a great stay. Jim was always responsive to our needs. He is one of the friendliest people we've ever known and has become a friend. The house is just perfect for us . The size, location, and views are wonderful. Great for long walks around the lake. Sit on the deck and enjoy glass of wine watching the beautiful (URL HIDDEN) is a great value for an extended stay and like it so much that we have already booked a longer stay for next summer. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to future visits .
Len2016-08-28T00:00:00ZJim's place was great and he was nice and courteous! He met us on our first day to make sure we were all set up. The house was well stocked and had most things you might need. The yard was great for our dogs and the house was very nice. Would definitely stay there again if he wasn't booked up for the rest of the year!
Samantha2016-05-31T00:00:00ZJim's place is great. Take it if it is available!
Anthony 2017-04-29T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay at Jim's place. It was immaculate, right on echo lake and Jim was very responsive. Thank you!
Kathy2016-05-24T00:00:00ZJim's place was comfortable and had everything we needed. The view out the back picture window was stunning. Our dogs loved the fenced back yard and walking through the neighborhood. The house had plenty of towels, blankets and the kitchen was well appointed. Our stay was relaxing and we lacked for nothing. Jim was easily reachable and made sure our stay was going well. Definitely on our list for our next visit.
Sandra2017-04-12T00:00:00ZJim was very helpful throughout the renting of his property. The facility was just as described and the location is very, very nice. The lake and the huge oak trees provide a vacation like setting. Overall - very satisfied with the entire experience.
Gregory2016-06-23T00:00:00ZJim is a great guy. He is remarkably available, attentive and welcoming. The house is cozy. The view is beautiful and the neighborhood is great for walking. We felt so relaxed and comfortable in Jims house. This will absolutely be our Chicagoland retreat. Can't wait to come back!

Super clean place.. Exactly as described. Nice neighborhood.. Easy parking.. Had a shelf in the refrigerator cleared out for me. Even set out some miniature toiletries for my stay which was super thoughtful and totally unexpected. Would definitely recommend!
Colin 2015-03-21T00:00:00ZIt was really nice to leave there. Everything was exactly as described and better. House is really nice and clean with a cleaning service included. Sly is very flexible and welcoming. The area is very safe and clean and quite. Sly is excellent at responding to messages and calls on time which is very professional.
Mostafa2016-05-14T00:00:00ZSly was prompt in responding. The living room, dining area and kitchen are very spacious. Bathroom and bedroom were clean. I had some adjustments to my stay and sly was very accommodating in working with me. Overall a good deal for the price.!
Sri2015-12-14T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 35 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Julius2016-07-08T00:00:00ZSly was there to greet me when I arrived and gave me a tour of the apartment. He also had recommendations for things to do in the area and how to get around. His dog is friendly (if excitable) and was never a problem. The apartment was clean and quiet--a couple other people were staying there, but we hardly saw or heard each other. It's a nice neighborhood and an easy commute to the city, so I'd definitely recommend it.
Brent2014-11-02T00:00:00ZSly was a great host, place was exactly as describe he helped me whenever I needed something. The place was great, in a quiet neighborhood,well stocked and always cleaned. The dog, Vegas, was a good companion.
Vibhakar2015-08-08T00:00:00ZStaying at Sly's place was perfect! It was always nice and warm during the very cold and snowy days that I stayed. Sly and Kim were very helpful, and the place was very clean. Having access to everything in the house (washer, dryer, TV, kitchen) made the stay even better. The location was perfect as well, it was close to fast food, walmart, bars, and banks. I would recommend anybody to choose this place over a hotel any day.
Michael 2016-01-23T00:00:00ZSly is a great host. He was in communication with me regularly to make sure that I was enjoying my stay. Other roomates were fun to talk to, but were mostly quiet. The place was quiet and big. I always had a bathroom, a kitchen, and usually the big screen to myself. Vegas, the dog, is a great part of the place too. I was far away from home on business, but Vegas made me feel especially welcome..and I'm not normally much of a dog person. I really felt like I had a lot of space to myself.

Jullin2017-03-09T00:00:00ZErin is a great host. Easy to get along with. Very accommodating at last minute arrangements. Very clean house. Nice quiet neighborhood yet close to town for getting things you need. Definitely would stay at Erin's.
Jullin2017-02-03T00:00:00ZErin is a wonderful host and her quaint home is lovely, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!
caren2016-12-03T00:00:00ZErin was very welcoming. Clean house. Private bathroom and quiet neighborhood.
Masin2016-12-09T00:00:00ZThat was my second stay at Erin. She was very welcoming and everything was clean.
Masin2016-12-16T00:00:00ZErin's place was fantastic! It was better than I expected and Erin was so hospitable, friendly and caring and a fellow traveler. Her place was decorated so nicely and the room was very comfortable and clean. We were met with a bouquet of "cake pops" which she made, they are amazing, ask her about them. The house is close to the park, stores and everything I needed. The accommodations were great and Erin was flexible with the arrival time. Erin is a great host, and this is a comfortable, clean, private, peaceful place to stay. Enjoy!
Luce (Loochay)2017-02-20T00:00:00ZErin is a great host. Her house is cozy and welcoming. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean. My daughter and I were very comfortable at Erin's home.

Sandra and Alex provided an excellent experience. They were very friendly and did their utmost to ensure my stay was enjoyable: from offering clear guidance on how to reach them using public transport to lending me a bicycle so I could travel with them to the local Strawfest at a nearby village. My room was comfortable, spacious, and had a desk to work on; the house was also spacious, very clean, and uncluttered. A most enjoyable visit.
Andy2014-06-24T00:00:00ZSandra is an excellent host. The room and house was clean and comfortable. It was like home. She treated me like member of her family. The best host I ever had.
ARIF2015-08-08T00:00:00ZAs efficient and welcoming as always. thank you.
Howard2016-12-08T00:00:00ZI would only ever stay with Sandra and Alex when visiting the area. This is my second stay, and the place already feels like home. They are the model Airbnb hosts in every respect. Highly recommended.
Siena & Eric2015-11-20T00:00:00ZSandra and Alex were very friendly and welcoming. The linens were fresh and the bed was very comfortable. They provided some breakfast foods and beverages which was very generous of them. Nice quiet neighborhood. We hope to visit again the next time we are in the area. Thank you for a great experience!
E.J.2015-06-21T00:00:00ZThey are Amazing!!!!!!!
Talbert2016-07-22T00:00:00ZAll of the reviews on here are spot on including the warmth+cozy+comfy+safe+beautiful+accommodating+clean+any other nice adjectives. The only other thing I can add is an anecdote, The first hour, I had some booking issues (my end) and they actually called the AirBnB rep, fixed the problem, and communicated with me the whole way! Wow. There are also cute notes all over the place to guide you through the house and lots of color and decorations in there that just make it nice to wake up to everyday. And not being a native to Chicago, they gave me a lot of pointers in terms of fastest routes(the L), traffic laws (I am always cautious now of making right turns on red), and surviving winter (get real winter clothing at REI, check). They are really super hosts. Thank you so much Sandra and Alex!
James2016-06-19T00:00:00ZSandra and Alex were out of town the first night I arrived. But they kept in contact with me walking me through the whole process of accessing the key, etc. Once I arrived they had "directional" signs posted throughout the house welcoming me. Unfortunately I had to work late most of the week but found out they were night owls and when I was able to say hi, they were quite friendly and shared some great stories and if I didn't have to work so much, they gave some awesome recommendations. I've lived in that area most of my life and was surprised on how many thing they recommending that I have never heard of. As far as the room goes, I don't believe I've seen a more perfectly described room. The pictures do not do it any justice. Its much bigger and even more cozier. And the bed is C-O-M-F-Y. Like i said I worked late a few nights and when i got back to their place...their internet connection did not let me down. Super fast! Oh yeah their towels...WOW...charmin soft. As far as the location and neighborhood. Really REALLY quiet neighborhood right near some trails. You will need a car. If your staying in the northwest burbs...you can't get better than this. Minutes from 53, minutes from 83 and minutes from every restaurant imaginable. I am going back to Illinois soon, and I am definitely staying here again.

Karla2016-08-29T00:00:00ZGreat location near several amenities and a 20 min drive to Woodfield Mall. The house was light and airy with lots of space for entertaining. Also very clean and well-stocked with household items such as toiletries, extra bedding/towels, laundry essentials and dishes. Would definitely recommend.
Omar2016-09-25T00:00:00ZGreat neighborhood, Meera was an amazing host, made sure we were ok and comfortable with everything. Very comfortable stay, house was very neat and clean.

Great location, quiet and safe neighborhood, the guys in this house are good to the core, this is a perfect place to grab a comfortable nights sleep and a shower.

My siblings and I came to Lake Zurich to reunion in our home town. Staying at Take A Pebble made us feel at home again! Jim is the definition of concierge...accommodating, informative... he is there when you need him and not when you don't. His place is warm, welcoming, eclectic ... music galore... His outside space is so relaxing! Jim has done a great job of renovating what once was the downtown hardware store into a quaint, comfortable place away from home. A great weekend get away.
Jane2016-10-11T00:00:00ZJim was an exceptional host and communicated with us at every stage of our stay beginning with texting to make sure we found his place all right and during to see if we may need to extend our stay (we did). Our apartment was clean, well-appointed and convenient to where we were working. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, and we plan to very soon. :)
Lauren2016-12-23T00:00:00ZHave stayed with Jim many times now. You won't find a friendlier, more accommodating host if you tried. Don't hesitate to book a stay and find out for yourself. Thanks, Jim!
Lauren2017-01-10T00:00:00ZThank you Jim for your AMAZING kindness and Generosity. Susana sent you this: A sunset walk by the lake, great outdoor space, comfortable bed, the comforts of home and the charm of the place is the result of a gracious host, thank you Jim for an Awesome stay!! WE Love You
Joe2016-08-23T00:00:00ZJim is the consummate host. Works had to ensure you have a comfortable stay. His place is clean, quiet, and well-equipped for a long or short-term stay. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try to anyone looking for accommodations in the Lake Zurich area.
Lauren2017-02-10T00:00:00ZJim was awesome! Loved the rooftop area along with all the suggestions he gave for food/drinks.
Rachel2017-02-21T00:00:00ZFantastic stay, as always. Jim is a wonderful host and has consistently shown himself to be kind, courteous, and friendly throughout many stays. Thanks for the exceptional service and comfy accommodations, Jim!
Lauren2017-01-27T00:00:00ZAlways a pleasure staying at one of Jim's apartments...great guy, exceptionally considerate and helpful. Will likely be staying with him again in the future. Don't hesitate to book.
