Very nice unit. New, custom trim. All new appliances. New flooring. Both bathrooms newly remodeled. Clean, crisp bedding. Comfortable, cozy beds. Extra large capacity washer and dryer. Great kitchen with everything that you need. It got into the teens while we were here (unseasonably cold even for Chicago with snow), but the heat in this unit kept us warm and toasty. We felt safe here. Lots of professionals, families, students walking their dogs.
We did the touristy things (Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Science & Tech, Shedd Aquarium, Zoo, Field Museum, 900 N Michigan Shops, restaurants), but we also needed to see doctors and therapists in Northbrook almost every day that we were here (the main reason we came to Chicago). We decided to stay closer to where the restaurants and fun stuff was, and this airbnb was a good choice. The Famous Dutch Pancake Haus was great and we went to Ramen San on N Hubbard twice- so good! We had Lou Malnatis, Giordanos, and Chubby Wieners (GrubHub) delivered here to the unit, and all three were close enough that the food was still hot when it got here. The garage is small, but we parked a Toyota Highlander 3 row SUV in it, so most cars should be fine.
This was by far the best value that I could find. We would have no problem staying here again. Mitesh was very responsive. If you have small children or have breathing problems, communicate with Mitesh before you reserve this unit. There was a smoke smell issue that Mitesh resolved quickly, but you might want to make sure Mitesh knows about any special needs this way so he can make sure you will be fine. There is a unit above this one. Our last night there were new guests that came in, and they were super loud (“hill walkers” and “loud talkers”), but you could have that problem anywhere that has more than one story. We always travel with earplugs, so no problem. To be safe, if the top floor unit is available, you should get that one- just as nice and the same layout. We felt safe, the unit is clean and comfortable, and it was a great value. Definitely recommend!
