This was such a perfect home away from home. Everything was just wonderful and Anya/Ashley were super. From the time I booked to the time I left, I felt well taken care of - they were very responsive and very accommodating, in terms of my checkin/checkout and basically everything. I felt at home once I arrived, the place felt warm and everything was in order. The hosts were also simply so gracious and amazing - from the little touches in the home, to offering to let me use the laundry since I was there for a whole month, getting the necessary home stuff (like bottled water - this was so thoughtful! and provided a new coffee machine so it's all amazing), and even offering to let me do grocery runs with them, they made sure that I was comfortable in their place and I really appreciated that. Whenever I needed anything or clarification, they were very easy to reach and very responsive too. The kitchen was also stocked with necessary ingredients/food stuff, and kitchen appliances and utensils so that was also really helpful (especially for someone who got so tired at the end of the day and everything was just there). I really felt sad when I was leaving because I felt so at home there :)
Space was great! There were lots of storage space and lots of space for me to move around too. There were two huge televisions - one in the living room and the other in the bedroom (this was amazing) and there was netflix, disneyplus, etc. there so I didnt have to destress on my small laptop screen lol. It was also well-supplied with everything I needed e.g. towels etc. My stay in Chicago was really made easy because of Anya/Ashley so thank you so much for helping me to settle in and welcoming me with so much warmth :)
Location wise, it was perfect - about 10-15 minutes walk (depending on your walking speed lol) from the bus stop and also the red line. There were also quite a few grocery stores around that are within walking distance, and I really liked the neighborhood the airbnb was in. It was quiet and peaceful, and diverse too! (which is really important to me) - really beautiful surroundings in a nice neighborly area - folks were kind! It was nice to be walking back home after a long day out and being in the space that I was in - everything was perfect. Hosts were also very helpful in providing guides on where I could go to for grocery runs, food etc. and they were very knowledgeable about Chicago and what to do in the city.
There's still so much I feel like I haven't included but tldr: perfect stay, perfect home, perfect hosts, it was super! I really felt like I was living with a kind and gracious family and that's so important for me :)
Thank you for making my stay in Chicago so amazing and wonderful, and I'd definitely return to stay here next time I come visit!
