Host Anita was great right from the beginning. She was very quick to respond when I had questions prior to booking. During our stay she also sent a message to make sure we got in okay and also to see how everything was going and if we needed anything. Super thoughtful!
On the day of arrival Anita sent instructions on how to access the home, which seemed confusing when I first read it but once I get to the location it made much more sense. Once inside, the space was exactly as it is pictured, very modern, clean, and spacious. We had exactly 10 people during our stay and it fit all of us just fine. The house was fully equipped with a great alarm system that really made us feel safe. It was super convenient that the hosts offered toiletries (such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion), towels, linens, iron, ironing board, and a blow dryer. The kitchen was also stocked with lots of kitchen essentials, except the water filter was not changed on the refrigerator so we were not able to use the ice maker but that still wasn't a problem because Pete's Fresh Market was right around the corner (which is an amazing grocery store, we were all very impressed by it). They also offer one parking space, which was good because we had a rental car during our time in Chicago. The unit upstairs is rented out and the tenant was very cordial. She greeted us as we came and went. I would definitely recommend booking this space if you're in the Chicago area, I would stay here again if I had the chance to go back.
Thank you Anita and Elsie for being such great hosts and letting staying in your home.
