Let me start out by saying this was my first time in Chicago and it was marvelous. Yes, the city was great, but what truly shone was the AirBNB I stayed in, hosted by Katie.
My brother and I had planned to meet in Chicago to explore a new city. We found Katie's place in the AirBNB Plus section, and for good reason: the space is chic, darlin', insanely accessible, and really it was just everything an AirBNB should be. Now my brother and I were down to share a bed, however Katie went above and beyond and let us know, right upon check-in, that there was an extra twin blow-up mattress so we didn't have to share, how about that?
The space shares a wall with a gorgeous old turn of the century house, both the AirBNB and the house it's attached to are beautiful to look at. Parking was not an issue (it was street parking, but you'd barely notice). Just read the signs and make sure you're not on a permit street, and you'll be alright. Katie definitely informed us about the streets, even recommending streets that were clear to park on overnight — it was grand. Entrance to the place was quick, easy, seamless.
Now let me tell you about the space. The 1 bedroom had a beautiful living room replete with full TV channels, a couch, chair and everything you'd need to kick back and relax. The kitchen is trendy as all get out, it looks like a Pinterest dream. There's a dining area with cute grandma-chic chairs (I want a pair just like it!). The bathroom works quite well, and we had all of the amenities one would need. The bedroom is well-designed, and features a comfortable queen bed. Oh and Katie was sure to include two soft robes so me and my broski could get our casual spa-wear on while we lounged around the place.
Overall it was an excellent stay, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
