I work in the middle of The Back of the Yards of Chicago and I wanted to afford more time with my son during his visit from Texas.
I had to treat this as a staycation since I did exhaust a portion of my vacation and I could not take the 2 weeks time off without drawing attention from my employer.
This was the perfect spot and arrangement to allow my son and I, to run a short commute to my office, and explore the area for sights and local events to participate in. Yes, I wanted to him to see both the University of Chicago and University of Illinois Chicago campus since he will be a Junior in high school and college planning is already on our mind.
I was totally pleased with the amenities, cleanliness, and supplies provided by our host. Fresh bath towels, clean linens, comfortable pillows, high quality mattresses, cleaning supplies (laundry detergent, dish soap, sponges, paper towels, etc...) and a hominess feel that it did make it hard to leave the condo to head for work.
We had no trouble connecting the provided internet service, applying our credentials to TV apps, that included Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, among many of the usual apps that smart TVs now come with.
I had no reason to contact the host, but they did send over a welcome message and did ask if there was anything we needed for our stay.
Again, there were no issues encountered during our stay and I would welcome a chance to do this again.
I will say that the pictures provided in VRBO do match the condo.
