We never met Axel- just communicated via AirBnB.
Such a cute and SUPER clean space! It is a bit of a trek to downtown, but the Brown line is only about a 10 mins-walk away. The neighborhood has some amazing restaurants and is 15 mins (by walking) to Lincoln Square shops. The window A/C unit was a godsend in the heat. The toiletries provided (makeup wipes, q-tips, first air, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.) were a special touch. There was a mini fridge stocked with drinks, a microwave, dishes/cutlery.
I am a light sleeper, so the noise from the neighbors upstairs was a little jarring at first, but the A/C and a white noise app on my phone helped a ton.
Def recommend if you want a clean and private space to stay in.
