I loved the place. Spotless, comfortable bed, stacked with kitchen supplies and clean towels. Great and secure location next to a public gallery of artists around the corner and the train, a 5 minute walk to a huge Target, an easy walk to the lake, Baton, Aragon Theater, and if you appreciate the queer community - you are above a super chill and catch all hangout that is lovely. To that, regarding the noise mentioned in reviews/listing, although it exists, as a NYorker, I felt it was minimal, not intrusive, and often forgot about it until thinking of grabbing a beer from the establishment. I briefly used the white noise machine once on my last night out of pure curiosity - that was my experience. The hosts are above and beyond with communication and clearly have a relationship with building management, so I felt comfortable staying here - and gives me confidence to try out this group's other listings. This place made it to my preferred list for my next trip to Chicago. Thank you for being part of the Airbnb community.
