My boyfriend and I took a short weekend trip from Ohio to Chicago to celebrate his birthday. We were so excited when we saw Janine's listing and all of the positive reviews. I will tell you that it lives up to the beautiful pictures and the wonderful words 100%. Throughout our weekend stay we couldn't stop remarking to one another about how lovely the attic apartment was and how much it felt like home. On our second night we came home early from a day in the city and ordered pizza delivery (per Janine's recommendation) and had the coziest, homiest night. Traveling can be hard because you never feel fully settled, but that was not our experience at all. It is such a roomy apartment, with so many little touches we loved - extra blankets everywhere, unique artwork, snacks, and even a collection of interesting books and DVDs to peruse. We also had wonderful, warm interactions with Janine (and her adorable granddaughter) several times, and got really spot on recommendations for local restaurants. In my experience with Airbnb, I rarely interact with hosts at all so it was wonderful to stay with Janine who was friendly, personable, and funny who also very much respects the privacy of her guests. Would love to stay again someday! If you are considering Janine's place, what are you waiting for? Book!
