Francesca's place felt like home immediately. I have used Airbnb for nearly every vacation over the past two years, and her apartment stands near the top of my list as the most welcoming and comfortable to walk into.
The location was ideal. The Brown line was just around the block. It generally only took my boyfriend and I about a half hour to get downtown. Lots of cute restaurants within walking distance. I definitely felt safe in the neighborhood.
The room was lovely. Very comfortable memory foam topper on the pull out mattress. There was a window air conditioning unit.. Which was much appreciated as we experienced a few warm, late summer days during our stay.
While we only saw Francesca once during the five day visit.. She was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. (She even let us have a slice of some of the delicious cakes she made).
We would most certainly stay with her again during our next visit to Chicago. Thank you so much, Francesca!
