Bright Garden Studio

Easy access. Nice location. Available shrot notice.

The place was cute, but not clean. I paid a 150 cleaning fee for a dirty place. The floor was filthy, cloves and crumbs by the bed, hair balls in the bathroom, dirty glasses on dusty shelves, dead spiders, huge dust bunnies under the couch, moldy shower curtain liner, old coffee grounds in the coffeemaker that didn’t even work.

Lack of bath towels and space heaters for heating in rather cool weather were less than expected and experienced in other rentals.

Although the check-in and check out process was great I felt like the rental could have been cleaner and needed a sent of freshness. The Moss frames on the wall left dirt on the floor, the shades on the front windows where broken, the center glass table was wobbly because of loose screws, the door of the fridge was dirty, the bathroom sink faucet was broken. The tenants above were very noisy at all times of the day.

Great spot. Very convenient and everything we needed for a long weekend visit to Evanston.

This is a small basement studio with a low ceiling and much that doesn't work.

The property was located in a nice neighborhood just outside of the hustle and bustle of Chicago. We were not able to locate a washer and dryer but other than that, all amenities were as described. Communication with the property manager was top tier! He was super responsive and friendly. This is a basement unit and our upstairs neighbors did not observe the quiet hours, so just know you may hear some noise from upstairs. Property is safe, convenient to downtown and Wrigley field, and we would definitely stay here should we decide to visit the area again.

We were in town for Loyola’s graduation and this was a great place to stay instead of a hotel. The drive to Loyola is about 18 minutes. The apartment is super spacious and has a well stocked kitchen. The manager was great at communicating. You can hear everything that happens upstairs but it didn’t affect our stay and the neighbors were quiet at night. Would highly recommend! Easy parking too which is great.

We were visiting our grandkids who live nearby, so we were mostly using the apartment for sleeping, showering, and a safe place to leave our stuff…. It was very comfortable. Craig was a totally responsive host, so any questions got answered quickly and clearly. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great Location

clean & nice.

Craig was really awesome and accommodating. The property was clean and nicely maintained. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

Place was really nice. Property manager was very kind and friendly! Responded in a timely manner. The place was nice and clean. Felt very comfortable during our stay.

Great spot to stay, very accommodating and everything we needed! Will be back for future visits.

We had a great stay in this Evanston lower level studio apartment while in town for our reunion and Homecoming weekend at Northwestern. The studio is clean, nicely decorated, good amenities, and conveniently located to both the NU campus and downtown Chicago. Having a dedicated parking spot was awesome too, as the off-street parking fills up quickly in the evening. My only recommendation would be replacing the really firm mattress with a softer one, or a memory foam topper. All in all we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this location to our friends and family.

Cute place, close to Northwestern. Craig the manger was very nice and helpful! Responded to all my questions, very quickly! Would stay again for for sure!!

False advertisements all over. This unit is very noisy. The noise separation from the upstairs tenants is non-existing. If you need rest, this is not the place for you. This listing also indicated there was a hot tub. It’s actually just a dirty bathtub and nothing more. Beyond that, very dirty. Moldy not-functioning fridge. All my food spoiled. The toaster oven doesn’t look like it’s ever been clean. And the smell of the unit… I had to mask it with air fresheners. They made me sick with all of the disgusting aromas. The host was not helpful. I’d rather stay in a hostel than this place. Should be listed under $50/night at current status. Oh and the projector / tv was missing all remotes to function. I even downloaded an app and it still didn’t work. Maybe the VRBO from Hell?

This place was everything needed for my weekend visit. Upstairs got a bit noisy for about a few minutes but after that it was fine.

easy and close transit access, Owner is quick to respond once your stay has started, will need to be a heavy sleeper with above tenants late/early morning entrance. Other than that clean, comfy studio

This is a small studio but it easily fit three of us. Great if you're going to be out most of the day. Easy mile walk to the Purple Line.

Property in good location. Everything worked out well.

This garden studio is in a great location and was very clean. I liked the studio but my spouse and dogs didn’t. Here’s why they did not like it: my husband is 6’ 3” and the screws from the overhead pipes were at head level. The apartment was high tech (great for some but not for us); as two folks over 60 we had a hard time figuring out the lights and even the convection stove top. It would have helped if there had been specific instructions about these in the house manual. The 6 stairs leading down to the basement are painted black and they were difficult for my spouse and our one dog to navigate (they were steep and they couldn’t see them we’ll them; the dog was afraid of them). Because our dog was afraid it was a production to get her out—not the fault of Craig or the apartment but it did impact our stay. Finally, it was very cold and the thermostat didn’t turn on to adjust so we were cold most of the time.

We were in town to visit family and a ballgame . We were traveling cross country in a Rv and this was the perfect place to rejuvenate. Thank you Craig for all of the excellent communication with us!

I stayed for graduation weekend at Northwestern. Short Uber ride to university. Basement apartment was clean and well equipped. Craig was very responsive. Only caveat is that as this is basement apartment, expect to hear footsteps from the folks above.
