traveler reviews for this chicago apartment rental

Large, Comfortable, Affordable, Convenient

Terryoke (Green Bay, WI)
Review submitted: September 29, 2011   Date of arrival: June 21, 2011

This place is beautiful, spotlessly clean, eco-friendly, comfortable, safe, and also AFFORDABLE. The owners are so nice - we have stayed in their Peshtigo rental as well and both places are filled with countless, thoughtful little touches that make them like home - only BETTER. After having stayed at both places I only wish I could rent the OWNERS for a week so that they could make my own home as comfortable as their rentals are. I have recommended these rentals to dozens of friends and colleagues and I am a picky traveler. Thank you Donna!

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: What a pleasure to receive such a wonderful review. We do work hard to provide excellent accommodations. We are thrilled that our guests are so happy with their stay.

A great way to visit the city. Relaxing meals in a clean and well kept apartment with Donna always available for questions. Easy parking. We were able to have our own son stay over and his Grandmother. We so appreciated your help and hope to be back some day.
