She even offers outdoor furnishings and basic window treatments, which the other stagers I talked to did not. A couple hundred dollars more than the other quote I got but worth every penny. Note, if you want to pay by credit card, you have to pay the 3% fee. https://tour.vht.com/433904216/914-n-hermitage-unit-3-chicago-il-60622/photos

She was wonderful, enthusiastic, arrived on time, and efficiently and skillfully got the choices done with my vague initial input within the confines of a last minute rushed appointment. She was also open to questions and suggestions through the job and responded enthusiastically to the results. Two of the blues we picked looked essentially the same but it doesn't make a big difference and is more due to the lighting in the place. Would love to have her give more advice on other design aspects in the future!

Pros: cleaning service does a great job INSIDE the apartment, proximity to Wrigley/Boystown,…read morekitchen is a decent setup for a short stay (minus the loose handles). Cons: You will not sleep here. You will not get any rest. Every post about the train not being inconvenient is a flat out lie. It is loud, it is frequent, and the entire apartment shakes with each passing. The listing says there are 2+ bathrooms and then has them listed as 2 full, 2 half - there are just the two full baths. There is zero communication from the host, William. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT! For MONTHS I inquired about an early check-in and only received "we'll check closer to the check-in date" which, yes, great. That was in February and after consistent following up in August, not a word about it. However, looking at the receipt in detail you receive after completing the very confusing check-in form, the owner has charged us for every add-on they offer, including a $150 Mid-Stay Cleaning (we're only here for four days) and a $90 Late Checkout (we're leaving at 10am on checkout day). The host finally replied and said "we're sorry you selected these services." When you click to reserve the vrbo none of the services are listed as options so how did I select these? And even if I *did* select these services, the mid-stay cleaning never happened. This entire apartment is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with people flipping houses. The owner clearly slapped cheap lipstick on a pig with every finish cheaper than the last. The floors in the bedrooms move. The beds are awful. There are exposed wires sticking out of the bathroom mirror. The common areas leading to the apartment are disgustingly dirty. The host is extremely petty. The review he left on me personally makes no sense - how do I get a 1 star for communication when he never answered any messages until the day we left? Cleanliness 3 stars? I sent a message saying that we're checking out and the dishwasher has been run - 10 minutes later I got a review? Stay elsewhere, the lack of communication and unprofessionalism isn't worth the stress...

If I could give 0 stars, I would…read more William Gibbs still owes me $2,000 from my security deposit, which I've repeatedly asked to have returned. It has now been more than 60 days since I vacated the rental, even though the contract clearly states deposits must be returned within 45 days at the latest. Despite calling daily, the only "response" I get is from what appears to be an AI answering system on his cell phone pretending to be him. The only communication I've received was a random $10 Zelle payment from someone named "Stewart Gibbs," who I cannot confirm is him or not. This entire process has been unprofessional, misleading, and deeply concerning. I have never experienced anything like this before and strongly urge anyone considering renting from him to look elsewhere. I am currently pursuing a small claims case to recover the money owed. If anyone has additional information or a reliable way to reach him, please share.
