Big Family, Big House
We enjoyed staying at this Des Plaines property. It is well-located for accessing Chicago and other suburbs. It had the furniture and storage we needed for a large family to stay and ample room for kids to play. There is also a playground a couple blocks west. Kitchen utensils were a little light for doing any serious cooking, and we had to call the management upon arrival to get the door code updated. Other than that, we had a great week at the property.

Great Getaway
I booked this home for a girls weekend trip. The home was clean and spacious enough for six ladies. On check-in, the door code was not correct, but that was quickly addressed and fixed. On the second day, I called the contact person inquiring about parking and there was no response until the day after. Other than this, we had a very good experience.
