Dany is the gold standard for what Airbnb is supposed to be.
In looking for a place in Wicker Park Chicago, I submitted requests and was rejected by 4 different Airbnb locations. Now for those who know how Airbnb works; you find an available location for the dates you desire and you submit a request to stay there. In my case, every time I submitted to rent a place for the weekend, I would get rejections with random reasons. It was only then, after consulting with a friend, that the area I was searching is a segregated part of Chicago and that I was simply getting turned down due to the color of my skin (chocolate).
With the new information I received, I decided to widen my search and look for instant bookings. That's when I found Dany's place in beautiful Lincoln Park. Expecting to have a weird passive aggressive interaction (due to the fact that I'm black but had already booked and paid) I was pleasantly surprised to have experienced to complete opposite. Dany was inviting, friendly, and very helpful in finding great Chicago eateries. He kept great communication and didn't mind staying up late for my arrival. The day before I left, he asked if he could make me some coffee when I'm headed to the airport. He has a true French press and his own special coffee blend.
Dany singlehandedly made my Chicago experience a blast.
