This was probably the cleanest and most well-decorated VRBO I’ve ever stayed in! Love the decor! I stayed there with 6 friends and there was plenty of room for all of us. I’d highly recommend this location! Adam was great, too!

The Bees Knees was perfect for our group! Six women on an annual reunion, we found the house to be perfect. It was clean, comfortable and easy to live in. The location was perfect for quiet evenings away from downtown, yet close enough to be just a taxi ride away. The neighborhood felt safe and the host provided everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent! We would definitely stay again.

Great place with fun backyard!

We were in town for an event and had a great time at Bee’s Knees. The house was as described on the site and the pictures, clean, and well equipped. We really enjoyed the backyard seating and fire pit couple of nights we were there. Highly recommend this place.

This house was good overall. Good location and having a garage is a huge thing. The only thing its they did not have curtains or blackout just blinds and they will let all the light in at night.

Wonderful

Stayed here with six others for a girls trip.The house was beautifully decorated, beds were comfy, and the backyard was such a nice spot to hang out in during our downtime. We loved how much space we had and the attention to the vibes. Adam was super helpful and responsive before and during our stay. We all wished our trip was longer!

Adorably decorated home. Large enough for our group of 10. The beds were very comfy and everything needed for our stay was waiting for our use. We especially loved the pergola in the back yard and spent our evenings out there just talking and laughing. Adam was terrific with communication. And I’m in love with the chandelier in the living room.

The perfect home base

They were in town for a midweek concert. There was plenty of space for people who wanted to hang out, and having the individual rooms created space for privacy and quiet relaxation. The kitchen and dining room were gorgeous and perfect for big family style gatherings. The bathrooms were immaculate. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Chicago. We hope to be back soon.

Chic home with comfy beds

The Bees Knees was a great place to stay for our family. The decor is lovely and all the rooms are clean and smell wonderful. All amenities are well-provided making it a comfortable stay. Adam is a great host and super responsive, making sure our stay was comfy and smooth. Price is great for this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home and the home decor is inspirational. I had a very comfortable and memorable stay with my family. Would love to come again in future. Thanks Adam.

Everything and more

We loved Bees Knees. We took a short vacation to Chicago with our son, daughter in law and grandkids. The house was perfect. We loved the decor. There were so many special and unique touches throughout the house. The kids loved the loft playroom. The adults were able to sit downstairs and easily “monitor” the kids. The beds were comfortable. The kids loved the he bunk room. The patio was inviting although it was too cold for us to enjoy it. We appreciated having a two car garage for parking we were driving large SVUs and both fit fine in the garage. The kitchen was well stocked. Adam was great to work with. Check in and check out was easy and well explained. If we are back in Chicago, we would not hesitate to choose Bees Knees.

We were in the Chicago area for work, filming a project and needed a place for our team/crew. The rental was perfect from the fun decor to the space as a whole-- it was exactly what we needed and more. Very thoughtful in terms of the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry being stocked with everything you would need/want. The house was clean, great backyard. Appreciated the parking in the garage especially since the city was working on the water pumps on the streets in the neighborhood. I will note, that construction did not affect us in terms of noise or water usage but does hinder street parking. The neighborhood is okay-- not somewhere I would walk alone at night. It's a family neighborhood and fine in that way but there were some random individuals passing through at times. Adam, the host, is awesome. Super communicative and helpful. Overall it's a great, beautifully decorated, spacious home. I noticed playpens in the closets and gates at the stairs, very thoughtful for any families too.
