I stayed at Sam’s place for two month. Everything was setup perfect when I arrived and Sam welcomed me very nicely at the front door.

First of all I would like to say that I came as a guest and left with a new good friend at heart. Sam’s place was my home away from home… only sooooo much cosier! She seriously is a perfect example why AirBnB is worth using it. That being said she did put so much effort into making my stay comfortable, helped me to make my way around in the neighborhood, introduced me to neighbors, was there for me when I needed help with anything and responded ASAP when I had a question. She also knows all the good spots in town. Ask her for recommendations if you want to go to a nice restaurant, a club, etc.! When we didn’t see each other during the day she kept contact via text to make sure that everything is A OK!

The room is well decorated and offers lots and lots of space and most of all it comes with the most comfy mattress I have ever slept on. Sam keeps the house very clean –it’s immaculate- and she provides a lot of stuff that you may need while staying in Chicago (maps, umbrella, washer/dryer, etc.). The also wonderful designed bathroom comes with a hot tub which is a huge plus in my opinion. There are never problems with hot water or water pressure. The kitchen is well-equipped and you should definitely use the opportunity to cook with Sam, have dinner together and an interesting conversation. She has the most interesting life ever! From this description you can tell that she allows full access to her house. Treat it well!

If you want to spend time at the house.e.g. when it's raining, there is a pool table and TV with lots of programs or you can read a book in the also comfy living room. All the pictures on her profile paint the picture quite well but you have to experience it on your own for all the details and Sam’s great personality!

The place is close to the Green Line stop @ California & Lake. If you have a car: parking right in front of the house is a piece of cake; no permit is needed. United Center is just around the corner – very important if you are into basketball and want to see a live game – GO BULLS!!!

Sam is really easy to communicate with. I would like to ask everybody who will rent this place to take good care of the place and of course also of my new good friend Sam. She deserves it!

I highly recommend this funky and joyful place which should be the benchmark for all AirBnB places!!! She’s the best host ever and I for sure will stay in contact with her and return when I get a chance without a moment of hesitation.
