Reinaldo was a great host! Perfectly communicative leading up to our stay, and checked in throughout to ensure we didn’t need anything (everything was set up perfectly; there was nothing we needed from him during the stay). The street was quiet, it was easy to park, and felt very safe even at night. We loved breakfast outside at Bang Bang Pie and Biscuits, and enjoyed the proximity to parks, coffee shops, the subway, and having a neighborhood feel in a big city.
A couple things to note: the downstairs basement space has low ceilings, so is tricky for tall folks (including shorter shower). Upstairs was quite lovely, and the water pressure in both bathrooms was great and ran plenty hot (we had 8 adults). We all would recommend bringing your own pillows — the place is so clean and there are extra measures in place to keep it sanitary, including plastic pillow covers, so they aren’t the most comfy. A minor detail, but would add to your comfort. All things considered, this is far and away the best value in Chicago for a 4/2. .
