Had a wonderful stay at Mark's place! One of the nicest Airbnb's I've stayed in. A few things to consider:
PROS:
1. Location! A half hour ride from O'Hare on the blue line, in the heart of Logan Square, a really vibrant and dynamic neighborhood with bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Getting to and from Mark's place is wonderful and easy.
2. The checkin and checkout were seamless! Mark's place is beautiful and easy to find, the key was where he said it should be.
3. Spacious, clean and stylish. A cozy space, and it was a luxury to have all that to myself.
4. Mark gave great recommendations for local places to eat/drink, which I definitely followed.
5. The space has a full kitchen that's well-appointed and has tons of utensils, etc. If you like to cook on vacation, this would be a great spot for you.
CONS:
1. There's really only one con, and it's not Mark's fault. The apartment is a basement unit, and a lot of the building seems to be made of wood. The sound of footsteps from the upstairs unit was quite loud, esp in the early mornings. Mark thoughtfully provided earplugs, but even with them in, the noise upstairs started at 5:45 am and continued for a least an hour or two. I ended up trying to time my sleep schedule to the routines of the family upstairs! But depending on your hours and how heavily you sleep, your mileage might vary. It's a beautiful place.
