Great location for needing to be around the north park area, my grandmother easily maneuvered (87 y/o), and our 4 y/o loved watching TV on the projector. Easy parking, easy access to downtown. If you need to be in the area I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Great Location
This house was just as described. We felt so close to everywhere we needed to go. The neighborhood felt safe and comfortable. We did not have a car but realized you would need good parallel parking skills if you do have car. The house was spacious and the porch was really nice and private. The host was great! I would definitely stay here again.

Tasteful house.
House was clean and in a good condition. Tastefully furnished and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. We missed small pans. The patio, outside table and chairs were not cleaned and therefore it did not invite to be outside. But overall stay was very good.

Beautiful home!!
Very slick and modern home!! The decor was beautiful! Beds were comfy! Kitchen has everything you needed. We loved the area and it was close to everything! The owner was easy to get ahold of and very thorough. We really loved it and would book again. Two small complaints. The media/tv situation in both bedroom and living room was complicated and ridiculous. It took a lot of time to get both to work. Once the projector in living was working, it was really fun but not sure it’s was worth the time it took to get there. The house was immaculate but the outdoor area was a mess and we didnt hang out there because of that. Furniture was dirty and there was lots of debris everywhere from a previous storm. It would have been nice to use because it was super cool! Still, we’d book again.

Modern Getaway Home
This is a single family home in North Chicago. 30 minutes from Ohare Airport. Very clean. Comfortable beds, great kitchen. Lovely patio. The host is very responsive. My only issue was that the only way to watch TV was on a projector by streaming. During daylight, it was difficult to see programs. If the owner adds TVs to LR and bedrooms with necessary apps, it would be perfect.

Great space and safe neighborhood
The property was lovely and the neighborhood felt safe. Great decor and amenities. We recommended checking out Big Hill for dinner/drinks and Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club for brunch. Both places are less than a 5 minute walk away. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Exceeded Our Expectations
We loved our stay at 312 Riverhouse. Kim was an awesome host answering any inquiries timely. The home was very clean and modern with lots of beautiful plants everywhere. My favorite space was the island in the kitchen. I was able to make an apple cake and a side dish to take to our Thanksgiving meal while my family either sat at the island or sat on the sectional watching TV from the projector. The home supplied a whole cabinet of spices, olive oil, coconut oil, coffee, tea bags, bags of ice, parchment paper, filtered water from the fridge. In the kitchen, we used the air fryer, toaster, microwave, oven, stove top, coffeemaker, french press. We were happy to find out that the home was dog-friendly. Actually, the neighborhood was great for our dog as well. There is a college across the street where my husband took our dog on a walk daily. I preferred going down Drake Street for his walks. I felt very safe as the neighborhood side streets were lined with beautiful residential homes. Water pressure in both bathrooms was great. The master bath had dual sinks and dual shower heads. Super nice. The location was good for us with one of my sisters in Andersonville and one in Glenview. The first night we got takeout from Big Hill (delicious food) which was two blocks away. There was also a Japanese restaurant and a Vietnamese restaurant on the same block which we did not try, but liked the option. Thank you, Kim, for paying attention to all the details with this home. We plan on staying again in the future.
