Great host with quick responses to queries; allowed us to arrive for early check-in. We didn't use a lock box for the key to enter as Anton greeted us. Very knowledgable of the area as he has lived in Chicago for some time.
There are two very sweet dogs in the house. We noticed they do shed quite a bit but they are trained to not enter the guest room.
Place is a little small for 4 people but we made it work. Two of us stayed in the guest room and two others stayed on a blow up air mattress instead of the couch (due to doggie hair). We barely spent time in the home as we just slept and changed and explored the city of Chicago.
First time staying with the host that actually lives in the building. Initially we were nervous but it turned out to be a great stay.
