HOUSE RULE – NOISE & MUSIC POLICY

To comply with noise reduction regulations in our residential neighborhood, we enforce stricter guidelines prohibiting DJs, amplified music, and live bands. Requests for DJ or live music cannot be accommodated.

You may use our JBL Boombox on site at 25–30% volume, keeping the sound at conversational level. Encourage guests to avoid yelling or shouting over the music — that’s usually louder than the boombox!

Music must be turned off by 10:00 PM to comply with Chicago quiet hours.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work with the Pilsen community and property management to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all guests.

Important rules:
• Do not touch or use items on shelves or any glassware.
• Ice is not provided.Refrigerator access is not included (mini fridge optional).
• Entry access code is sent one day before your booking.

Cancellation policy: Standard 60 day with Grace Period
