⚠️ 5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK We'd rather you know now than be surprised later. 1. 🏡Historic Building — Real Character, Real Wear Built in 1890 and maintained, but not a brand-new build. Think character, not cookie-cutter. Some vintage wear throughout. We clean thoroughly between every guest, but if gleaming new construction is what you're after, this may not be the right fit. 2. 🛋 The Den Has a Curtain, Not a Door The second queen bed sits in a den off the living room, separated by a privacy curtain — not a wall or a door. It's cozy and works well for most guests. But if complete bedroom separation is important for everyone in your party, please keep this in mind before booking. 3. 🛣 Near a Freeway One block from a major arterial road. You will NOT hear freeway noise inside the apartment or in the backyard, but the area is dustier than quieter residential streets. We deep clean between every booking. 4. 🐀 Chicago's Rat Reality Chicago is consistently ranked #1 in the US for rats — it's a citywide issue, not specific to this building or block. You may occasionally see one on the sidewalk or patio in warmer months. The city actively manages pest control. We mention it so you're informed, not alarmed. 5. 🌿 420-Friendly — What That Means Cannabis is welcome here (see house rules for where). We ozone between every booking, but some residual smell is possible. If cannabis odour is a concern for you, this may not be the right fit. Cigarette smoking is strictly prohibited indoors. 👶 Traveling with a baby or young child? A pack-n-play is available on request — just let us know before arrival. 🧺 Washer/dryer is in the building (shared), not inside the unit. 📋 HOUSE RULES ► No parties. $500 fee if this rule is broken.
