We appreciated how welcoming Kristi was to our family of four, and she quickly answered all questions as we were booking our stay and any additional questions during the stay.
The place itself is a beautiful old apartment that probably dates from the 1920’s, with fabulous original built-in cabinets and wood trim. We felt at home there. It was spacious for our sleeping needs with one double and one queen bed. Also spacious living room for hanging out with the kids. Kitchen satisfactory for basic cooking, was the only part of the house that could use a little more TLC on the surfaces. I’m sure that this would be easily dealt with!
THE LOCATION CAN’T BE BEAT!!
Close to the El and driving to places also convenient (for tourist attractions and Michigan Ave). Lincoln Park Zoo and shopping and restaurants nearby were great.
Things to consider: If you’re a light sleeper, you may wish a white noise machine, but we slept fairly soundly. Expect city noises. :)
Third floor walk-up not a problem, we are able bodied, school aged kids enjoyed the back stairs. Just be mindful when booking. Our family members gave us city parking passes so we could park on the street on N. Dayton behind the apartment, but you may wish to enquire about street parking if you are driving in, not sure how that’s handled.
In sum, Kristi was a gracious host and we enjoyed our stay at her Air BnB!
