River North's Finest - Hosted by Dean - was a perfect combination of city living and comfortable / hospitable accommodations. We are a family of four with two teenagers and traditionally use hotels when we travel. Our priorities are typically as much space as possible (to keep the teenagers from fighting:) and to be as close to the action as we can.

As first time airbnb users we didn't know what to expect but decided to give it a try. Dean's space was absolutely perfect for our family. It was a great space for a family of four, in a very safe part of Chicago and is within walking distance to anywhere you want to go downtown. The space is right across the street from a train station which put us less than 25 minutes from Wrigley and anything you need is literally minutes away. In addition, the ability to have a FREE parking spot right at the location is key for anyone traveling to Chicago by car.

The space is very comfortable accommodating and with two bedrooms, a large L shape couch AND a pullout it could have easily been used with a family of five and plenty of room to spare (there are also two full size bath rooms). It was extremely clean and had everything you would need, whether you were only there for two nights (like us) or if you had a week long trip.

Lastly, Dean was very easy to work with. Any message I sent him through airbnb was replied to immediately and it was obvious that he wanted to make sure we had a good trip. It definitely made our first experience with airbnb a good one. Since we drive into Chicago at least once a year I plan on looking to this space as our first choice in the future!
