We had a fantastic experience with airbnb. We stayed with Rick for one week while visiting from Ireland. Rick was very helpful from giving directions to recommending places to eat. His house was spotless and yet we were made to feel very much at home. There was a short walk to the 'El' which meant we did not have to drive downtown therefore saving on parking fees. Rick and Danny were very hospitable and i would recommend their house to anyone wishing to have a comfortable and stress free experience in Chicago.
