Tim’s place is as described. Smaller private area but large shared spaces available mostly to yourself. Coffee and small snacks was a nice touch. Room and bathroom were very clean. Water pressure in the shower was phenomenal. Also, Tim provided a parking pass for the Cubs night time game.
The only issue which left me not giving this a 5-star review.... the listing says free street parking. This is accurate *most* of the time. We arrived to the AirBnB, went to the Cubs game and came back and went to sleep. My wife and I woke up to a parking ticket the next morning. Apparently, there is monthly Tuesday night street cleaning outside Tim’s place and you will be ticketed if you don’t move your vehicle. This seems like valuable information Tim should share with guests. He’s owned the place for 40 years, I’m thinking he knows and would give this type of information to guests so they aren’t out $60. When communicating this to Tim, he showed no signs of being apologetic or empathy towards the situation which was very disappointing, especially seeing his Superhost status and multiple 5-star reviews. It’s a great place in Wrigleyville walkable to the park, but beware of street cleaning if you come during the week!
