Do not hesitate to stay at Zahid's place. The townhouse is beautiful, impeccably decorated, well-located and in one of the most amazing neigborhoods in Chicago.
Even from before the stay, the communication with Zahid was easy and fluid. The check-in process was seamless and we felt right at home after only a few minutes. For those who like to enjoy their Airbnb homes, there are wonderful supermarkets nearby and the kitchen has all the appliances and utensils that you will need - all top-tier and very clean.
Location-wise, the metro station is 3 minutes away and will take you downtown in 10 minutes, though Uber rides at non-peak hours are $12-15 max. Also, you can walk to the lake and be there in 20 minutes, enjoying a walk/run on the shoreline or a dip in Lake Michigan. From there, the walk downtown is only another 25 minutes or so along Lakeshore Drive.
At the home, we enjoyed cooking in the open kitchen and having several glasses of wine in the upstairs terrace, which is amazing at pretty much any time of day, especially in the tree-lined and very tranquil street on which Zahid's home is located. The wifi worked perfectly and the TV has pretty much any streaming service that you will need.
Thank you Zahid and we recommend this amazing home to everyone!
