Overall, the location of this Airbnb is undeniable. It’s in the heart of wicker park within walking distance of a TON of great things, public transit, and comes with a parking spot... which is IMPERATIVE for this area.
My issues however were with the communication of the host & the lack of cleanliness. When I 1st booked, Andrijana sent me a long list of questions, which was very off putting. I understand needing to qualify guests. However, the listing is non refundable with automatic reservation acceptance. If you feel the need to ask people that many questions it should be done BEFORE a non-refundable payment... but, we worked through that.
I asked if I could checkin early, the answer was no due to cleaning. However, throughout my stay I saw several things that were not clean and a bit concerning.
1 - There was hair in my bed, which makes me wonder if the sheets were changed.
2 - There was hair in the shower & another bathroom required cleaning out because anyone could get in.
***There was also thick grime between the shower tiles.
3 - The bathroom vent was extremely and visibly dusty.
4 - There was lint overflowing out of the lint trap in the dryer.
I was in town for a very busy weekend, so I did not get a chance to communicate until the last night of my stay. I was hoping that Andrijana would at least refund the $175 cleaning fee since THE APARTMENT WAS NOT CLEAN... $100 was refunded because they wanted to “investigate” which I will tried not to take offensively because people do lie. However, I paid over $1200 for my stay why would I waste my time lying over a measly $175....
Anyway, the location is so good if you want to have fun in Chicago it’s a great place to stay, but FYI BRING YOUR OWN BLANKET AND SOME LYSOL!!!
