This property was overall pretty nice. We traveled with four adults and two pets. It would be nice if there was a gate at the back stairs to prevent pets from heading down there. The stairs are fairly steep.
I know that Illinois recycles just about everything, but it would be very nice if there was a separate bin in the kitchen for recycling. It was not convenient to walk all the way outside and through the gate put recycling away.
The upstairs bathroom lacked extra towels, there were no washcloths upstairs at all and there was only one hand towel provided upstairs.
The picture in the listing showed a twin bed in the second bedroom upstairs and a queen bed downstairs. However, the queen bed was upstairs and now there are two twin beds downstairs. Just note that there is no bathroom on the main floor, only one upstairs and one in the basement.
The fenced in backyard was very nice for the dog, but there were a few spots where they could easily get out. So you have to be careful in the corners. And since the back gate wasn’t locked so you can access the garbage and the garbage and recycle, the dog easily got out into the alley. It would be nice if there was a slide lock on the gate to keep it closed from the inside.
Overall, we felt very safe in the neighborhood and the house was comfortable and clean.
