| Thank You Reima! Our recent stay last week at Unit 1F on Draper St exceeded our expectations with ample living space, comfortable beds and all the "extras" like bath essentials and stocked kitchen cabinets w/condiments etc. The neighborhood was AWESOME with quiet streets that were close to everything! We had a very short walk to a great playground, Starbucks and the local grocer--Dominicks. The free parking permits you gave allowed us to avoid parking fees that most owners charge! It was a very short drive to Lake Shore Dr,Navy Pier and downtown as well. I can't say enough about your property! We will definitley recommend it to anyone staying in the Chicago area and look forward to returning to your great city! Thanks again, The Ramirez Family from Texas |

| My family came into town for my PhD Convocation from the University of Chicago. The 6 of us fit snugly into the very clean and comfortable place. Could have stayed in separate hotel rooms but then we'd have missed the bonding experience! Having a fully stocked kitchen sure helped save time and money. It was only 15 minutes to the loop by El and less than an hour to either airport by cab or train. Everyone had a great weekend! |

| We loved our stay in Chicago. This house was really nice. It was central to lots of attractions and an easy walk to Chicago's transportation system. It has 4 bedroom but one bathroom. The one bathroom was a challenge but we made it work. The house is clean and nicely decorated. We definately would stay here next time we are in Chicago. |

| Our family was in chicago for my son's wedding. We stayed in unit 1 and unit 3. The location was perfect. Reima was very accomadating in anything that we needed. The units were great for our large family. Even the chairs outside of the lower unit came in handy. The units had everything we could need. The street is a very quiet and people were very friendly. Would not hesitate to stay here again! |

The house was perfect for us, only wish we could have
stayed longer. Actually the pictures really don't do the
place justice, so much better than we anticipated.
Quiet and safe neighborhood, close to the CTA and
everything you would want to see in Chicago! |

| Wow. What a great place. Wonderful location, great neighborhood, the park right beside was a hit with our 3 kids. It really gave us a sense of what it would be like to live in Chicago. So much better than a hotel ! |

Reima,
We had a wonderful time in your rental home on Draper St. Everything was so convenient, we almost did't need to rent a car. The apartment was so spacious and the neighborhood was great!! I had taken a couple of chicago newbies and they absolutely loved it. The park at the corner was great for my little neice and nephew they enjoyed it. Thanks again, and I plan to stay there again for my mext visit in Chicago.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend in Chicago! We really enjoyed staying at the Lincoln Park Oasis. It was very convenient location for getting around the city and such a great deal for a large group.
Thank you again for your hospitality and I will be sure to recommend your apartment to any friends visiting the windy city. |

| We loved the house on Draper - the neighborhood was lovely and very convenient - and the cute little park at the corner was a hit with my children. We loved the space, the light airy feel of the house and all the rooms. We will definitely recommend to friends visiting Chicago. |

Reima,
My most recent stay in April 2007 at your Draper (#2) apartment was just as I remembered several years ago. I thoroughly enjoy the space, privacy, and quiet environment of this location and will definitely stay in this property on my next visit to Chicago.
Traveling with a friend of mine, who was new to Chicago, we enjoyed all of the convenience of shopping, restaurants and the overall experience that you can't get from a hotel stay.
I would definitely return to your property in a heartbeat!

We really enjoyed our stay here, spacious, comfortable and ideally located for us in a lovely area. We used the car and the "el" successfully during our visit.
There's a nice little bar (the Gaslight) a short walk away too, and a Starbuck's. We liked Chicago generally, lots to see and do, but you have to visit Lou Mitchell's for breakfast!

| we loved the place, it was very clean, neat and clutter-free. the decoration of the apartment was very nice and cozy and it was great for the kids because there was nothing breakable around. we loved the easy parking, quiet street, park nearby, and the beds were comfortable, and there was good closet space. we suggest more dressers or drawer space. we would definately go back and stay there again. thanks so much. |

We completely enjoyed staying in the two
apartments. Having 8 adults and 2 children,
it was wonderful for everyone to have their
own room, to have 2 kitchens, and plenty of
space for the kids to run around. The place
was beautiful and I am going to recommend
it to people I know who are going to
Chicago! Thank you also for the parking
permits. Parking was so easy every time we
came back to the apartments, and that made
it so much easier with kids. Thank you for
making our stay in Chicago very
memorable! |

Thank you for the refund of our security deposit.
We had a great time at your apartment, and will
likely stay there again in the future. We
used the train and bus for all of our transportation.
Our children enjoyed the nearby playground, as
well. |

| We very much enjoyed our stay and thought the condo was great. We greatly appreciated the little touches – like having coffee / creamer and tea available there and thought the condo was well appointed and comfortable. Thanks again! |

| Three of Us spent this past St. Patrick's Parade weekend (2006) in Chicago. We had previously spent this same weekend in Chicago two years prior and had a great time, So We vowed to do it again. The last time We stayed at a nearby Motel, which was alright, such as it was. But this year we rented the W. Draper St. Condo for three nights, and the accomodations were excellent. It was not only economically comparable (split 3 ways).But it was much roomier than a motel room, plus the added convenience of a kitchen and of having a living room for guests, not to mention a washer and dryer at Your fingertips, plus the Parking privileges, and the privacy. We have already recommended it to Our Friend's. |

The condo is very clean, beautiful and is located in a very nice neighborhood. There were plenty of linens, towels, every comfort of home.
The El, restaurants and shopping are within walking distance. I am very happy with the decision to stay at the Draper residence and will stay again. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know the real Chicago. |

Your condo was perfect for the family. My mother-in-law wants to return and rent your condo again for another family gathering. The parking alone was unbeatable. Thank you for the parking permits. All three of our vehicles found parking every time we returned from an outing.
Our 4 year old nephew's parents were relieved to see Children's Memorial Hospital down the street, since the child is prone to seizures. He had a
terrible ear ache Christmas Eve, but there was less worry as the hospital was so close.
The condo was large enough to put up a full-size Christmas tree in the dining room, a slot car track from one end of the living room to the other end of
the dining room, and plenty of room to sit around which is what we did most of the time. I really liked the fact the condo is on a side street where
the city noise didn't get to it since everyone but us is used to country quiet.
Everyone enjoyed taking a morning and evening stroll around the neighborhood and felt very safe. We can't wait to get together at your condo again. Thank you so much, Reima.

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was comfortable and in a nice location. Our son loved the park just steps from the house and we enjoyed walking in the neighborhood. It was nice being close to the Lincoln Park Zoo and Nature Museum (just a short drive and free parking if timing was right). Parking on the street was easy and we felt comfortable in the neighborhood. We will definitely be back! |

| This is a great location and a very clean, attractive and comfortable residence. I stayed there with my husband and son for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the safe neighborhood and its restaurants, shops, parks, transportation, and proximity to downtown. We rented a car and the overnight parking on the street was easy and always available. Parking is expensive in downtown Chicago so we often left our car and took the "L", the station is within walking distance. I recommend this highly as an alternative to staying downtown. It was fun being a part of a neighborhood and experiencing Chicago in a very different way. |

Just a quick note to say "Thanks again!", for being so helpful on our visit to Chicago. The neighborhood around the apartment was a joy to stroll
through. We saw 2 baseball games while in Chicago, coming home around 11 PM
both nights. I was worried before we came to Chicago, but now I understand
that this is as safe an area as a person could hope to find. And what
marvelous gardens and architecture! As a builder and a real estate investor
in my own city, I paid alot of attention to the homes and businesses all around us there. We made good use of the public transportation while there
also, starting with the nearby Red Line. But we walked to the Grant Park
Zoo and to many of the local sights. It helped that the mid-August weather
was perfect...
Our family was very comfortable and fit comfortably into the four separate
bedrooms. The kitchen and bath were very nice too.
Best wishes!
Jerry Hof
PS
A cab came by just as we got to the corner, so we took it directly to Union
Station. Thanks for offering a ride anyway!
