The size, layout and location of the apartment is much better than we expected. It is very convenient to go to Univ. Chicago and the parking is easy. It is a very old apartment, but the owner has done a good job to maintain and clean it.
It was almost perfect until the second night of our stay, the owner stormed in the apartment from the back door without knocking, and accused us of staying there without paying the second night. She was extremely load and rude. My kids were very scared. After she found out that it was her mistake, she unwillingly said: "please forgive me" and stormed out from the back door again. It just ruined the Airbnb spirit - homey, friendly, trust and welcome. My daughter told me: "Even she thought we didn't pay for the second night, she should at least knock the door first and asked us politely. Or better, checked her record first." I cannot agree more.
With all these said, I still recommend this place to visitors to Chicago.
Pro:
- Greet value.
- Clean.
- Three spacious bedrooms.
- Convenient and good environment.
Con:
- Very tiny shower place (not very comfortable at all).
