Wow. What can I say about this place that hasn’t been said already.
First, Bill and Kathy make the time spent in their place so accompanying and home-like. They communicate with you from a few days before your trip, during your stay and even check on you after. But not too much...just the right amount of communication. They were both so friendly.
2nd: The place was so quaint and nice that it really felt like home instantly. Everything you need was there in the small place. We especially liked the free bag of ice they placed in the freezer for our stay—small gesture but we really appreciated it and thought it was so thoughtful for the Chicago heat. My 4 year old nephew was with us during the stay and he loved walking the community garden (and jumping on the bed). The kitchen was packed with everything you can think of and everything was top-shelf clean. They even provided Dove soap in the bathroom. The place smelt nice and the building did too. Neighbors and other Air bnb guest were friendly and whole place felt safe. You have 3 doors to get through before you reach your apartment door. Can’t be more safe than that. Plus it’s a wonderful neighborhood. We slept like babies (well except for the actual baby but you know how that goes lol)
3rd: We just loved this location. Minutes always from the lake, the Southside (where our family stays) and Hyde Park where the Obama’s stay (lol). The parking was easy and available even late at night. Lastly, the price was right !
4th: Book this place. You will be happy you did.
