The place is cute, and the bunk beds really are comfortable!
However, there weren’t any check-in instructions, so I had to go into the restaurant to ask the staff how to get into the Airbnb. They didn’t seem like they knew anyone was supposed to arrive, because they all acted surprised that someone was staying at the Airbnb. The guy that helped me to my Airbnb gave me the code to lock and unlock the door but no instructions, so it took me a while to figure it out. When I got inside the Airbnb, it wasn’t clean. No toilet paper, hamper and trash bins were full. Someone suddenly came in to clean the place, so I had to leave for a bit. It was only a half hour I was gone, which makes me wonder how clean the place really was, when I was staying there. There also isn’t any plates or bowls, and the utensils are just a bunch of disposable plastic spoons. The fridge is more like an icebox, so everything will freeze inside, which I actually liked.
The top bunk gets really hot! I had to turn on the A/C to feel comfortable on the top bunk, but my friend who stayed in the bottom bunk was really cold because the temp is normal in the bottom bunk. I recommend a little fan up there. There isn’t a guidebook or anything, but the remote is relatively easy to figure out, and Wicker Park is busy so you just need to walk outside a few blocks to see what’s around. There’s so much to do around the area!
Be sure to keep the front door closed at all times- there’s rats everywhere outside (Chicago living) and one almost crawled into the Airbnb because the door was slightly cracked open!
The wifi isn’t the best for streaming shows on your laptop, but I can Google things on my phone just fine, so it’s doable. It was a decent experience, but I don’t think it was worth what I paid for it.
