Excellent stay! The shipping container was so cute, even better in person! It was perfect for our group of 4 and was in a great location that made seeing the city a breeze. I would absolutely stay here again!
The house was amazing! Perfectly romantic for our weekend anniversary stay. Danielle is a great host and had everything decorated so nicely, even had a little box of chocolates for us for our celebration. The card she wrote made it feel even more special. Would definitely recommend staying here
The shipping container was amazing!! Very modern-unique touches! It is in a quiet neighborhood and is the perfect place to stay for a weekend of sightseeing! Would stay here again!
Great location, cute property and perfect spot for an on the go weekend! Would definitely stay here again. Hosts were also quick to respond to any questions we had.
Cute and tidy rental that was perfect for our group of 5. Close to great restaurants, Q39 and Bay Boy Specialty Sandwiches were our favorite, as well as the T-Mobile Center and the ballpark. Would definitely stay here again.
One of the most beautifully decorated places I've stayed! Centrally located near restaurants and shops, it is clean and well stocked. Beds are comfy and there were lots of special little decor touches and convenience items! We can't wait to return!
It was a really cute and cozy spot! I took off a star because the pillows were pretty thin in the main bedroom and the WiFi connectivity was poor. Overall, really enjoyed the area and the rooftop patio!

Jessica, thank you for sharing your experience. As we are new in this hosting journey, constructive feedback is welcomed. We apologize that we did not provide you a 5 star experience this time around, and will certainly look into improving both the pillows and WiFi. We know those are key factors to a cozy night in & hope you’d consider staying with us in the future.
Safe travels,
R&D
First I love repurposing items to make them more useful and the storage container doesn't disappoint. It was so cozy and spacious---perfectly decorated and have every accessory we could need. Thanks to our hosts- DANIELLE AND HER TEAM!
We were in town for our daughter’s wedding 5 adult’s the house was perfect. Very clean good location easy to contact owners if needed. They had all amenities including coffee on arrival made it so nice to be able to relax. Definitely will rent again when in town!

Hi Anita, thanks for your feedback. We’re disappointed to see a 3 star review and hope to improve. As we seek to create a positive and memorable experience for all guests, we’d appreciate if you could share directly where we fell short on the cleanliness and quality as to make any future adjustments within our control.

I chose this property for the option of staying in a converted shipping container. It didn't disappoint!
With a well designed interior, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen and comfortable sitting area, Danielle and Ryan provide a great space. It is close to the hospital if you need to be near family, and easy access to a neighborhood filled with restaurants, bars and coffee houses.
I would encourage booking this interesting place that gave me easy access to so much on my route back to Chicago!
Our stay was mostly excellent, the property was unique, well-appointed, and comfortable. Pictures of the property are accurate, the decor is wonderful! The kitchen coffee and creamer station was stocked which was a nice touch. The location was great for our needs, just a short drive to areas around Crown Center where the event for our weekend was held. The only improvement would be: there was an ant infestation in the front 2 BRs. The 'traps' that were placed were either old and or not strong enough to correct the problem. Also, the baseboards throughout lacked cleaning (dust & hair) and the outdoor furniture seating had to be cleaned before using. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
