Graduation Weekend
We had a great time in Chicago. We brought our children, my parents, my husband’s Mom and both of our sisters to celebrate our son graduating from UChicago Law School. The listing said it slept 10. For us It actually slept 8 and that was still tight. There was an air mattress in the closet that we didn’t use. My son and Dad slept half of each night on the ends of the couch, not pulled out as a bed, due to being so cramped in their beds sharing them. My sister in law and mother in law thankfully had decided to stay in a hotel so we ended up with 8 with us. With only two bathrooms that’s also an issue for 8 people trying to get ready to go anywhere. It’s all doable and the savings of staying in one place versus paying for three hotel rooms for four nights was still worth it. The location was good, we aren’t city people but felt comfortable by the next couple of days in the area, we had a car so we learned about reading the signs like they recommend or you will get a ticket(the owner kindly reimbursed us). I’d love to see more towels, washcloths(there weren’t any until we asked), sheets(there were no top/flat sheets) for that large of a crowd. Seating for that many to hang out at night together needs improvement, maybe add another couch or a sectional. I don’t usually leave reviews but realize how I need them for myself when deciding to stay somewhere. My famous line is you can’t smell a picture, this place didn’t smell bad, was clean, we made the most of the space. Thank you.
