I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely book again the next time I'm in Chicago. This was a bit of an early birthday present to myself and I was really glad I was able to find such a great space. The décor here is modern and fun!
The space was clean and comfortable. I was working remotely while staying here and really appreciated the supply of coffee, the big table to work at and the extensive list of nearby restaurants and cafes that Daniel and Tes shared with me. There were lots of great options for a quick lunch or snack (and a bit of fresh air) in the middle of the day. Just a heads up that many restaurants in the area are closed on Mondays and/or Tuesdays. Even so, there was still plenty of good food around.
When I wasn't working, I enjoyed chilling out on the couch or sitting on the back deck with a beer and just relaxing. Staying here was definitely a treat!
Some things to consider if you're planning to stay here:
* If you're a solo traveler, you probably don't want to go out walking alone at night in this neighborhood. As a woman traveling alone, I didn't plan to go out alone at night anyways and my cousins who have lived in Chicago all their lives and know the neighborhood confirmed that was probably for the best. The Airbnb itself felt completely safe and secure, with two separate places for me to enter security codes in order to get into the listing.
* If you're a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs with you. There were some sounds/noises that I would expect, staying in a two story place in the city. Nothing unreasonable though. I brought some earplugs with me after reading a previous review that mentioned noise, but didn't end up needing them myself. There were some light footsteps above me from time to time, but they weren't very loud and it was always quiet by the time I was going to sleep. There is a train that passes nearby, but I never even heard it!
