The sunny LIVING ROOM boasts large south-facing bay windows and hardwood oak floors. Ample seating is provided on two full-size sofas and an armchair with footrest -- all facing the storage buffet topped by a 66" cable television. An ornate multi-speed ceiling fan, and desk add to the room's comfort.
"My family just spent 9 months at this venue. The apartment is roomy and the layout of Elizabeth with the connecting living room, dining room and kitchen made visiting easy no matter what activity people were engaged in."
The DINING ROOM seats 8 comfortably on leather padded chairs, whether for dining or business. The large hutch and sideboard provide additional storage and closet space. Note the window shades adjust for more or less light.
"The apartment is old (1800s!), but lovely and very modernized. I find it a homey place to stay. I had a great time and would def return if I travel to Chicago again!"
The fully equipped KITCHEN is a gourmand's dream! It includes custom furniture-look cabinets, a SubZero refrigerator with 2 freezer drawers, electric cooktop, stainless self-clean electric oven, stainless dishwasher, Corian counters and sink, coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, blender, and all kitchenware. Window shades adjust for light.
The oak table provides a casual eating venue for up to four.
"We were very happy with our long-term stay. We had a private apartment with a much nicer kitchen than at home -- even a subzero refrigerator with TWO freezers-very luxurious! There is a grocery one block away so you can make whatever you like in your eat-in kitchen."
"There even was a beautiful Sub Zero frig and great washer and dryer."
BEDROOM 1 contains a queen bed flanked by 2 nightstands, a 32" cable TV with DVD player, windows with frosted glass to provide both natural light and privacy, ceiling fan, AC and wall-to-wall carpet. The shelving system and tall closet provide plenty of storage.
"I've stayed all over the world, and once in Europe I was mistaken for a Nobel prize winner of the same last name and given their best room and hospitality. But it was not as wonderful as Elizabeth's Place - this is by far the best place I've ever stayed in my many travels."
The heart of BEDROOM 2 is its antique Louis Philippe full bed, complimented by an all-wood white dresser, bedside table, closet, storage area, ceiling fan and AC. The window's frosted glass provides both light and privacy. Not shown: the cable TV
"Our flat was spacious, well maintained and well appointed. We truly felt like we were coming home every day of our stay. The Aster House will be our preferred place to stay, whenever we visit Chicago!"
BEDROOM 3 has a single bed -- or your own full size could work. A marble-topped desk with task lamp and USB port provides an ideal work space. For storage, there are two dressers, shelving and a deep closet. For comfort, this room has a ceiling fan, as well as its own AC unit.
The BATHROOM has a walk-in stall shower, antique Bombay chest with vessel sink on a Corian counterand deep linen closet. If you like, we can provide towels and a hair dryer.
"Whenever I come back to Chicago, AsterHouse is my home! I've already passed on the details to my little sister. And now I'm just relishing the memories of beautiful Elizabeth's and the little green patch in the back and the deck!"
The private LAUNDRY ROOM houses free seasonal full-sized front-load machines, plus storage. There is the option of adding a second smaller washing machine.
"And having our own private FREE washer and drier without having to lug laundry to a basement and wait for a machine spoiled us even more!"
