I don't think I can properly state how thoroughly I, and my friends, enjoyed staying at this property. It's super cute, the perfect size for 3-4, maybe even a 5th guest. The amenities and location are perfect. It was super easy to ride the L to/from downtown and O'Hare. And the neighborhood is just wonderful. I actually want to move there (if only it weren't for the winters)! There was a lot of thought and love put into this garden apartment. The kitchen and master bath are especially pleasant surprises, with brand new appliances, and the most awesome shower I've ever used. I was slightly worried about the lack of central AC, being from Texas, we cannot live without one. But the window and floor units were more than adequate to keep the whole unit at a comfortable temperature. There's even a white noise machine in the master.
This property will definitely be top of mind for any future Chicago visits, which I hope will be sometime soon.
Oh, and Kristin is a wonderful host. She met me at the unit to give me a personal tour, showed me how to get around any quirky things like the dishwasher or steam setting on the shower. She's super responsive to messages on the Airbnb app and gives great recommendations for places to go in the neighborhood. I really wish I'd had the chance to try out more of them.
