My family (14 adults and teens) stayed here in June 2018 for a family wedding. The house is in a great location; everything we wanted was within walking distance and getting around was easy. The off-street parking was good to have (although a bit of a squeeze with two cars). The owner, Steve, was accommodating, but the property is outdated and definitely in need of some TLC and more amenities. There was not one hanger in most of the closets or an iron (Steve brought us some upon request), and there were no dressers, so we had to live out of our suitcases. Several lights in the bedrooms did not work or were too far from the (strangely placed) outlets to plug in, and the furniture, bedding and carpeting were all tired. The shades in the bedrooms were not functional and flimsy. The lower level (pool room and a few bedrooms) had an awful smell from dampness and mildew. The windows were dirty.
The kitchens were the only part of the house that appeared to have been renovated. They were nice and functional, although we hardly used them.
All in all, we managed -- thankfully, we were out of the house more than we were there. The house was livable but not a great value -- steep price for what we got. Definitely more like a frat house for young folks in for a weekend series at Wrigley Field. If you are looking for an old house to cram a lot of young people in to for a fun party weekend, then this would fit the bill. It is definitely in need of a facelift in order to make it a good option for anything but that.
