My family and I were there for my daughterâs graduation and stayed at Bliss of Evanston for a few days.
Overall the condo itself is wonderful, and spacious with views looking West so catching spectacular sunsets were nice along with seeing incoming thunderstorms. With the large wall of floor to ceiling windows also could make it fairly warm with the afternoon sun, so keeping the AC on is helpful. The unit is in good condition, clean and well appointed with all of the kitchen basics, and oil/spices so you can actually prepare a meal. The unit also has in-ceiling speakers that are possible to connect to via Bluetooth. There arenât instructions for it, but easy to figure out if youâre so inclined. Other things we liked was access to a gym and underground parking, in unit laundry machines, as well as a pool which wasnât open yet when we stayed there. There are a few things in the unit that could use a little TLC, but didnât affect our stay. The Tempurpedic mattress is a bit firm, but you get used to it.
The location of the condo is great, and fairly quiet. There is a hospital nearby and with the main thoroughfare, you may hear ambulances a few times, as well as the Metra commuter train. Downtown Evanston is very close: Taco Diablo and Bennisonâs bakery are only a few blocks away and a must visit. Whole Foods is a short drive, and Rezaâs is great for Persian food.
Michelle was quick to respond and address any issues or questions we had. Overall a great stay!
