My boyfriend and I arrived later than we expected (around 8:30 pm), yet Erik and his mom were very kind about it. Erik was away and he was willing to help us communicate to his mom and grandma. His mom was also kind to us and let us know that she was home ready for us to arrive. Upon arrival, we were greeted by his dogs, his lovely grandma, and his sweet mother. His mom showed us around and reminded us about the room and keys.
In the blue room is exactly as depicted. It is located right across the bathroom and equipped with a t.v., speakers, white board, closet, bed, and sofa. We did not use any of these items except the bed, so I cannot give a review about this. The review I can give is how the bathroom is very, very nice. The tub is clean and full of soaps we are allowed to use. I just wished that the other airbnb neighbors were cleanly about it, too, since I would walk into a mess they've left.
Erik's mother was willing to help us with anything we needed. His grandmother was very sincere with everything she said, although I could only understand 25% of it because of the language barrier. His dogs ended up warming up to us by the end of our stay. Overall, the house and family was amazing. In addition, the location was very convenient; we took the train to the Loop everyday and it took us about 20 minutes through the Orange Line. Thank you for an amazing first airbnb experience!
