Message me if you have any questions!

Our ideal guests have been groups who want to splurge on premium location and lots of space. This is not a suburban family home nor a resort hotel. This is an original, vintage and quirky Old Town home. We are not offering high end modern amenities or spa level luxury. There are plenty hotels in Chicago that do. What we are offering is truly one of a kind on Airbnb- a spacious home in the heart of Chicago.

Please turn to the photos to get enchanted by this unique space but also to see the floor plan with layout and sleeping arrangements.

** SPECIAL FEATURES **
• Large open-plan living/dining area with a fireplace
• Covered porch
• Large enclosed backyard

**OTHER AMENITIES**
✦ 2 washers and 2 dryers
✦ air conditioning and central heat throughout
✦ detached 2 car garage
✦ free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
✦ free luggage storage in the garage, as well as extended free parking before check in time and after checkout may be available

**BEDS**
- 1 king, 2 singles, 5 queens
- 3 small double futons, 4 single floor mattresses, 2 couches and a crib

**EXTRAS**
• Late check out at 1 pm - $125
• Early check-in at 1 pm - $125
• Worry free cleaning package- $125. Please read the details at the bottom.
IMPORTANT: I am unable to charge your account for the additional services. Please contact me in advance to arrange payment through Airbnb.

**SMALL PRINT**
✦ The brown line train runs nearby and you can hear it in some parts of the house.
✦ There is no internal staircase between the lower level and the two upper floors. You will need to go outside up a few steps to move between those spaces. The main level and upper floor have an internal staircase.

**ACCESSIBILITY**
8 steps up to the front door, 15 steps from the main level to the second, 5 down to the lower level from the street.

**HOUSE RULES**
The presence of more than 22 guests is unlawful. A guest is anyone at the property, staying the night, or just visiting. Minors need to have a responsible adult present. ID will need to be provided for primary booker prior to your arrival for advance reservations and for everyone spending any time at the property for reservations made less than 30 days in advance. There is a counter installed. I utilize a private security firm. If the counter shows more than the registered number of people or if I get a noise complaint from neighbors, security will be immediately dispatched.

**WORRY FREE CLEANING PACKAGE**
At check out you will need to take care of trash overflow, dishes, exuberant messes, and any food you brought. The worry free package covers any and all cleaning. Just walk out in the morning (you do need to move furniture back if you make any changes to layout). Note that this fee is additional to my regular cleaning fee you pay when you book the place. This package is best for those who want to decorate, cook a lot, are traveling as a group, and would rather split the extra fee than worry about anything in the morning.

**DECORATING THE HOUSE**
You are welcome to decorate the house. If you attach anything to the walls, please use paint-safe tape and remove it prior to your departure. There is a $200 glitter or confetti fee.

WILDLIFE
You will encounter wildlife while staying at the property. Here is what you can expect most commonly:
Spiders and ants are common in Chicago. They get as high as 95th floor of John Hancock building. While we do our best to combat them, it is nearly impossible during high season.
Bees, wasps, yellow jackets are abundant throughout the city. While we take care of any nests on the property, I cannot control them in the air and beyond my boundaries.

BREAKDOWNS
I will use my best efforts to ensure that all equipment within the house is in good working order, although I can not guarantee that any equipment will not break down during your stay, and therefore such a breakdown does not constitute a breach of this Agreement or give Guest any right to any refund or rental adjustments made for any such mechanical failure. In the event of a breakdown, I will use my best efforts to remedy the situation as soon as possible after notification of the breakdown. There will be no refunds or rebates given for inoperable appliances or faulty equipment, unfavorable weather, interruption of utilities, or minor maintenance problems. No rebates will be given for malfunctions of cable equipment or reception that affects the TV or Internet access. Please remember that I can not fix a problem if I do not know about it so please communicate any issues promptly.

LAYOUT
The house consists of 2 floors up and a fully finished basement level, 3 floors total.

Main floor: large living/dining room as one open floor plan, bathroom (toilet and sink), kitchen, and an amazing covered porch with access to the back yard. The kitchen has a stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and a bar-style seating area. It is fully stocked if you wish to cook, host, or just eat take out food with real silverware and dishware.

Second floor: two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a third cozy bedroom.

Lower level: two bedrooms, large living/dining room combo, another kitchen and a full bath. The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave. Also fully stocked.

The house is best for bachelor, bachelorette and friend groups as well as business travelers. It is not child proof.

Was perfect for our needs. Isn’t high end home- but is decorated nicely, inside was clean and housed our large party. Close walking distance to many great spots. Cute backyard add porch. Near the train, but we enjoyed seeing it pass by and the noise didn’t bother us much.

The location is awesome for families and includes two garages parking spots. If you have a larger vehicle it may not fit but I was able to fit a Buick 7 passenger and a minivan. Tight squeeze but it worked. Old Town is great. Very close to attractions but we did drive or uber to magnificent mile since the group was cold. We did walk to the zoo which wasn’t too bad. Lots of great food very close to the house. Old Jerusalem Restaurant Is a must. Awesome Lebanese food (I’m Lebanese so I know). Great trip.

This property worked well for our group of 14. The need to go outside to get between the upper and lower levels had been made very clear. It was a bit tricky at first with 5 young children, but we all adjusted pretty quickly. The lower level is more basic than upstairs but still worked very well for 5 of the group. The neighborhood was perfect for the location of the wedding we were attending, and having garage parking was fantastic. Definitely recommend.
