We have stayed in this apartment many times, and in one stretch, for 3+ months. We always try to get this apartment every time we come to Evanston. It’s clean, it has all the amenities you can ask for and it’s in a great neighborhood. The owner is also very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend it.

First time visiting Chicago. The home was beautiful clean and had everything we needed to make our trip memorable. Loved that there were actual spices in the kitchen and I left a bottle of EVOO for the next guest. Chicago is too big for a 3 day trip and we will definitely be returning.

This was my second stay at the Harvey House. It is a jewel. The host is quick to respond to texts which was very helpful when I realized I needed to extend my stay. The house and furnishings are in top condition. The kitchen is very well stocked and labeled. Will definitely stay here again.

The unit was very clean and central to where we needed to go. Just a couple of minor items: 1) the full mattress was very firm. I like a firm mattress but I couldn't sleep on the bed. Perhaps include a mattress topper? 2) As part of the check-out, we needed to run the dishwasher and put away the dishes before 10am. It would be nice to just run the dishwasher before we left and have the cleaning service put away the dishes, if possible 3) the Keurig coffee maker didn't work initially; found out that it did not puncture a hole at the bottom of the coffee. once we figured that out, it worked We appreciated the ample supply of toiletries and snacks. The unit had a lot of windows to showcase the natural light, which we enjoyed.
