It was a great first Airbnb experience for me. The location was exactly what I had in mind. I could just walk or take a bus to the McCormick Place, where the convention was held.
Chinatown had lots of restaurants to eat and being Asian, it was just right for me. Although there was one transfer, the CTA train was convenient enough to get the host's place. It seemed to be a safe community since I got home late at times and had to leave early for my return flight.
The biggest plus factor for me was Yvonne. She is a wonderful host. Her apartment is clean and the private room comfortable . She helped me with directions in going to the convention center and if I wanted to go downtown or other tourist attractions. Yvonne stayed up upon my arrival because my bags got delayed. From time to time, she would check up on my needs from time to time but also gave me some privacy.
For my first time with Airbnb, I am grateful for this positive experience with the host and the location.
