Overall, our 3-day, 2-night stay was pretty perfect.
The location: like everyone else has emphasized in the reviews, the location is lovely! Lots of cozy, dinner/style (aka affordable but good) breakfast places as well as more upscale type spots! The neighborhood itself felt pleasant and safe. All the cool tourist-y attractions downtown are fairly close. The Airbnb is just a tad pricier than one would expect but I believe you’re really paying for the location. (And yes, it’s worth it!)
The place: the bathtub is deep and great for bubble baths. I recommend bringing along some candles and bath bombs! The place was very clean upon arrival. The light fixtures are super rad and the place was thoughtfully decorated/arranged. There is a lot of natural lighting which I really enjoyed. The tv is rather small but hopefully you’re not spending too much time on the tv when you have all of Chicago to explore!
The dislikes: okay so the ONLY reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I found the location of the place a tad bit noisy. I read other reviews that emphasized how it was SO quiet. I beg to differ lol. The upstairs neighbor has some heavy footsteps and woke me up a bit earlier than I wanted to be up in the morning. Also, I didn’t see this mentioned anywhere else in the description (unless I overlooked it) so I think it’s worth noting — there is a “back door” in the kitchen that leads to a community storage room for bikes and a washer and dryer. When residents go in said room, it legitimately sounds like someone is right in the kitchen. Far louder than the above neighbor was. Overall, I do recommend staying here! :)
