House Rules:
1. Please read over and agree to the rental agreement before booking. Any damages or house rule violations will be deducted from the damage deposit. 2. Please note we may require that you answer a few questions after booking. We look forward to hosting you! 3. If full payment is not received 28 days prior to your stay we reserve the right to cancel your stay and keep the amount already paid Rental Agreement and House Rules (Once you book, you agree to all terms.)
General Principles:
• These House Rules are intended to ensure that our property and neighbors are respected. Rest assured, there should be no problems if that happens, but if you feel you cannot follow our Rules, we respectfully ask that you not book with us. • Please respect our property and neighbors (there are families in the association) and keep noise to a minimum, especially after 10 p.m. Guests are not permitted past 10 p.m.
Zero Tolerance Policy:
• If any party that may disturb our neighbors is thrown, large or small, or anyone engages in drug use, including marijuana use, we will require you to leave the property and impose the fines below.
Damage Deposit and Fines:
• We have overwhelmingly positive relationships with our guests and are rarely forced to fine anyone. Our intent is not to prevent you and your group from enjoying yourselves. We want all of our guests to have fun! Instead, our intent is to weed out bad actors and prevent situations that may disturb our neighbors and damage our property. • We impose fines if any party is thrown, large or small ($1,000); anyone smokes in the property ($350); the keys are not returned ($35); or any theft occurs ($500 minimum depending on the item). We may also impose a $100 fine for excessive noise. • If you timely let us know that an item is missing or damaged, we will simply charge a replacement cost. But if this is unreported, we will impose a fine of, or reduce your damage deposit by, three times the replacement cost for the missing or damaged item. • If the number of guests exceeds the number specified in the reservation, we will impose a $25 charge per unspecified guest each night. If the number of guests exceeds the maximum allowed by our listing, we will impose $50 fine for each extra guest each night, and either keep your damage deposit or impose a $100 fine. • On rare occasion, when our home is left unusually dirty, the cleaner charges extra. If this occurs, you will be charged $50 for each hour of cleaning beyond the allotted cleaning time. • Checking out after 11 a.m. on the last day of your stay may result in a $50 fine if you are not out by 11:15 a.m. and an additional $50 fine for each subsequent hour.
After Booking:
• After booking with us and before your stay, we will require you to send us a picture of your government-issued ID. (We will respect your privacy. This process is no different from a hotel requiring to see your ID upon arrival.) After receiving your ID, we will send you access instructions for the unit approximately one week before your stay or immediately if your stay is less than one week away. • Individuals who reside locally in Chicago or in nearby surrounding areas may be asked to cancel. • We may call you to conduct a final screening. If we reach out, access instructions will not be released until we speak. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours after reaching out for the screening, we may ask you to cancel your reservation.
Check-out:
• Check-out is at 11 a.m. on the last day of your stay. This applies to all stays unless at least one day before check-out: (1) an alternate plan has been agreed to, and (2) payment for late check-out or extending your stay has been made. • Checking out on time is extremely important. The cleaners will clean right after your stay, and new guests often check in shortly thereafter.

This condo was a wonderful place to stay. The location is very close to the redline CTA, as well as to the quaint Andersonville, full of nice restaurants and bars. It felt safe, in a quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.
Location of unit in the Andersonville area was just perfect and having a dedicated parking spot was awesome for this area!Communicating with the owners was superb!
Great location in Andersonville on a quiet residential street. A short walk to Clark Street and convenient to buses and the Red Line. Hosts were easy to work with and provided lots of great info about the area.
We enjoyed the location of the apt to the grocery, stores restaurants and the CTA rail and bus. There were dishes and cookware to use during our stay. The neighbors were very quite and the neighborhood was peaceful.
Very well lit street in a safe neighborhood. Lots of amazing asian restaurants and everything is within walking distance. Parking was a bit tight and would be easily fixed if some vegetation were trimmed. Short drive to Michigan Ave. We'd certainly stay here again.
Me and my best friend rented this for a long weekend away. So close to all Andersonville’s best. Clean, comfortable bed and couch, easy to walk to almost anything. The hosts give clear check in / check out instructions as well as all the other rules of the property. Parking spot is tight so just don’t bring a huge car if you are able.
We had family come in from out of town and we had another rental but we needed more room. I was able to find this unit which was within walking distance to our other rental.
Conveniently located to the Red line, shopping and nightlife. We walked into downtown Andersonville on both Clark and Broadway. We walked to Jewel/OSCO for groceries. We walked to several bars on Broadway at night and felt safe.
We took the Red line to Loyola University, downtown to the River Walk North, Mag Mile, and Millennium Park.
Rather than call an Uber/Lyft, to get to MDW, we took the Red line to the Roosevelt stop and transferred to the Orange line which went to MDW, about 45 minute ride.
Would definitely stay again if we make it back to Chicago.
Thank you!

Great location. Nice neighborhood. Many things within walking distance. Great host. Host very responsive.
Everything was great. Having a parking spot was the icing on the cake. Comfortable and quaint. Clean and well kept. Professional work done to make it modern and safe. Would come back again and again. Thanks for such a great place to stay for our daughter's graduation.
This was perfect for us. We walked to Montrose Harbor, to great restaurants in every direction & had several music venues within walking distance as well.
The check-in process was easy, the owners were communicative and we had the instructions before our stay. The property was clean and pretty well equipped. Just a couple blocks from the red line, and a short walk to Clark St, it was very easy to get around.
