Weekend stay in May
The communication with the host was excellent! The door-opening code was sent exactly when promised about an hour before check-in time. Everything in the house functioned well. Parking was extremely tight and I had a small car! Our first night was Friday and the neighbors were noisy, Barking dog woke me from 12:00 - 1:00 AM. Loud upstairs neighbors clomping around and laughing loudly until about 1:30 AM kept us up. Road noise was very loud until at least 2 AM. Saturday night was much quieter and calmer. Most things were very clean, but inside of bathroom door was very dirty. Living room furnishings seemed cheap and uncomfortable. Overall, it was probably a fair value for the money and location.

Nice place and as listed
This place was everything as listed. Nice rooms and plenty of room in the common areas. It is in the heart of the town and located on a busy street. You can hear the traffic, but we live on a highway, so that didnt bother us too much. Would definitely stay here again in the future if we go back to visit.

Super accommodating last-minute stay
James was a lifesaver on this trip. We had a nightmare experience at another property and needed a clean, comfortable place to stay at the last minute for our family of five plus two dogs. It was a tall order to find a place but James was communicative, flexible, and so accommodating. The property is really comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. Parking was easy & convenient and we had some of the best Mexican food we've had in a long time from some of the local restaurants. Highly recommend James & this property!

Weekend Trip
Myself and my two teenage daughters took a weekend to go to a softball camp in Mokena. We found this place when looking and it looked so nice and James was so very quick and responsive to all messages. Minus all the road constructions and detours to get to the house location the place was great. It was nice and cozy, real warm feeling in the home. Would recommend James and this house again for our future stays.

NIU Graduation
Check-in was easy. Enjoyed marked parking spaces. The unit was nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable. We didn't stay in the neighborhood because we were visiting family in Lockport. Very convenient for meeting up with them and going to DeKalb for graduation. I probably drank too much coffee, but hey, the Kuerig and pods were right there. We didn't need any of the baby equipment, but it looked well supplied if you have a baby.

Great place for families
This was a great place to stay for us. We have a one year old and there was hardly anything that we had to move off the floor. He could crawl around without us worrying that he would mess something up. Also, there was a pack n play and high chair provided which was great! The host was communicative. We would stay there again.

We were in town for a wedding and this was a great alternative to a hotel for 8 of us coming from 4 different states to get to hang out together in between wedding activities. Spacious, clean and cutely decorated. We just had to be planful with the shower schedule with one bathroom. Very doable. Thanks James!

Great place to stay if you've got things planned in the area! Pretty much the perfect setup for my friends for the weekend. Upstairs neighbors can walk around kind of heavily, but as a light sleeper I already had some ear plugs ready.
