Two Months of Fun
The spacious and private tree top apartment. On 4th floor so if you have hip and knee issues this is not for you. Walked to enjoyable restaurants and taverns in the neighborhood. Pleasant stroll to Jarvis El or Howard el if park and ride. Ross is on premise and very responsive. We'd come here again though on a lower floor.

Spacious and bright, great for families
I stayed here with my family including two small children for 6 weeks while I worked downtown. It’s about a 15 minute walk to two different trains to get downtown. Every room is large, and the open living space with all the windows is beautiful. It’s a third floor walkup, but the property manager allowed us to park our stroller in the foyer, which was super convenient. When we arrived, the Halloween decor was a hit with my kids - a nice touch. By the end of our stay Ross (property manager, who lives on the premises) had just put up Christmas decorations - very sweet. Quick response rate from both Ross and William when we had minor issues. Would recommend this place especially to families!

Verbally Attacked by maintenance man
The stay was OK but there was an incident where the toilet over flooded while I was in the kitchen cooking in the toilet in the master bedroom which is on the opposite end of the apartment. The building is old you’ll notice that the roof the wall the paint is peeling them and complain about that but when I had the maintenance person pound on my door and point in my face and said that we did this it was a mechanical failure on the toilet. Who in their right mind is going to allow their personal belongings to get flooded with toilet water on purpose. It’s absolutely ridiculous and disgusting and I didn’t appreciate being blamed for it.

Horrible experience
Upon walking into the building, it smelled like cat pee and was very messy. They was a mountain of children toys by the front door that were dirty and smelly, which was alarming to me since we are still in a pandemic. Upon walking into the unit, the cat pee smell got stronger. I asked Ross, who was apart of the property maintenance team along with Glen, if the other guest had just left and he said that no one has has been in the place for days; and that’s exactly what it looked and smelled like. He continues to say that he’s been “ doing this” for over 11 years which was completely irrelevant and not a solution to the evident smell, since I walked into several windows opened to try to get rid of it . His attitude then went from being welcoming to defensive and disrespectful. I asked Ross if he could do something about the smell and he states that he has to contact the property owner first. He then returns with a bottle of febrezze Tide scent, slams it on the container and says, “This is all I can do for you”. I begin to reach out to the property owner, William, flabbergasted at the type of treatment I was receiving. He cuts me off during the conversation and tells me to RELAX! Also, tells me that I might be smelling gas from the furnace, and yet still provided to real solution to that alarming assumption. After a lot of back and forth, he instructed Ross to clean again; I assumed since everytime Ross got a call, he would leave the condo. While Ross started preparing to clean, his temper gets worst. He starts mumbling horrible mean things and curse words under his breath and slams old and empty cleaning supplies that were in horrible shape from an old bucket with dust on it (not because of him cleaning so much by the way; as he stated, NO ONE HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR DAYS). At that point I and my guest felt very uncomfortable and afraid. William then reaches out to me and orders me to leave the condo after Ross disrespected me and my guest while Ross cleans again. I told him we had nowhere to go to wait and also that we no longer felt comfortable staying there after Ross had his temper tantrum in front of us and continuously did by the way. He stated he would cancel and yet never did; he kept the reservation open and is now refusing to refund me for a stay I never accepted or checked into There was no sky view, only 3 beds, the furniture was stained with hair on it and the windows were filthy. I had to find another place for me and my guest.

Spacious, beautiful Chicago rental
We decided to spend Thanksgiving in Chicago with our daughter who was at school at the U of I. This place fit our needs to a T. While it requires a 3 floor hike, it's definitely worth it. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. We were met by Ross who lives in the building who showed us the garage parking as well as giving us a tour of the apartment. We found everything easy to access and to use. I do understand why reviews differ on the contents of the kitchen. For regular cooking, it has what is needed but less so on Thanksgiving. We added a few things from the nearby dollar store but measuring cups and spoons would be a welcome addition. Overall, I highly recommend this stay and we would certainly stay again if our paths take us back to Chicago.

Jarvis Avenue
We visited Chicago as a family of six and were very comfortable at the property. The rooms were nicely decorated and welcoming. We were a short walk from a beautiful playground that we visited most days. A short drive and we were at a beach (with a playground). We were unfortunate to have the air conditioning go out but the manager and owner were so quick to handle the problem that it didn’t effect our stay. In fact, we were amazed by the quick resolution. Jarvis Avenue is a beautiful, quiet place to stay. We enjoyed it thoroughly! Thank you!

This is a clean spacious property. We had 8 in our party and we had plenty of room. We used public transportation and Uber’s to get around the city. The property manager is on site and he is wonderful. I will rent this again next time I visit Chicago!!
