Very nice apt and pleasant owner
We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment is clean and well equipped. Very nice toiletries provided as well as coffee. I am 70 and have a knee replacement. The steps were not a problem for me. They are not steep and there are 2 landings. I highly recommend!

Location, location location!
The location of the property was very good.The apartment rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. Because of a knee repair the two flights of outside stairs up were rather difficult. I did not remember reading about them in the overview. The shower was pleasantly effective!

Northwestern opera weekend
My son is in graduate school at Northwestern studying classical voice and opera. My sister and I stayed in your lovely second floor apartment for the weekend production. We did not have a vehicle so were able to walk most everywhere. An easy 1.2 mile walk into town and uber is super convenient as well. The neighborhood is charming and safe. Parking seemed that it may be challenging though was not a concern for us.

Comfortable and safe place to stay
Overall, this was a great place to stay. It was clean and well supplied with all of the basics needed for our stay. The description of the property could be improved to include some of these other positives. It's on a cul-de-sac so it felt safe and street parking was easy. The space is on the second floor and the property owner lives downstairs and she was welcoming. The neighborhood was quiet yet close to the main road with a 15 minute walk to the train or downtown shopping and dining. We would stay again.

The Price was right
2 BR top floor flat. Functional kitchen and comfy living room that could use more lighting! Beds and linens excellent. There were enough towels to have extras for the 3 of us if needed. Secure. Easy parking

Wedding Weekend Central ;)
My daughter and her partner got married over labor day and we needed a place to sleep my husband, daughter and son in law during night-before and day-of activities. The kitchen is well stocked and clean, living room roomy and couches super comfy and bathroom totally fine (with plenty of towels). I gave them an excellent rating -- they were very, very welcoming and accommodating. We were up early and out late, and I worried a little about being upstairs and making noise above possibly-sleeping heads :) The beautiful wood floors are a bit creaky (to be expected)... and the stairs up are pretty steep. Probably NOT great for grandma and grandpa with mobility issues but otherwise, it was great. Parking is a little tight on the street, but we never had a problem finding a space within a few feet. Thanks for the great weekend!

No A/C, property managers VERY difficult
We communicated to the property managers that we would arrive late (after 9pm). Upon arrival at around 10pm, we found that the air conditioner was not working. It was 95 degrees that day in Evanston, and the inside of the apartment was 86 degrees. The owner, who lives downstairs, heard us coming up the stairs and popped in to see if the A/C was working. If she knew that there was a possibility that it might not be working, why didn't she check earlier in the day before we arrived at 10pm?? It was STIFLINGLY hot in that apartment, even with windows open, and we spent a sleepless night our first night there. It was awful. Fortunately, the owner had the A/C repaired the next day, but it was one day too late in my opinion. The owner contracts with a Chicago-based property management company who cleans the property and provides linens. When I mentioned the non-working A/C to the property manager later, she said, "did you turn on the thermostat?" Um, DUH! I live in Texas, so YES, I know what a thermostat is and YES I turned it on. It didn't WORK. Additionally, we were provided five bath towels and three handtowels and washcloths for our five night stay for three people, with no way to wash them since there is no washer/dryer on the property. I requested six additional sets of towels. I do not think this was unreasonable, since I don't mind re-using bath towels once, but I do like to have clean towels at least every other day. I know we are not in a hotel, but given that we don't have the option to wash the towels, I think the property manager needs to do a much better job of providing linens to guests, and they don't need to argue with guests so much about it. We paid WAY too much money for this apartment for us to have had to deal with so many hassles and rudeness from the property managers. A couple more notes: The cute little balcony is really just a landing at the top of the stairs with a small table and chairs. And the kitchen has ants, which should be addressed for future guests. Bottom line: the property is in a great location and has lots of potential. If you're in town for NU graduation like we were, or another special event, you're not far from anything. But you shouldn't have to deal with all these hassles. You should be able to pay your fee and just enjoy your stay without having to fight for basic amenities. We won't be recommending this property to anyone in the future.
