Ben and Sam are very deserving of the title “super host.” Staying at their place was a great experience for us. They were very helpful to us in navigating the buses and trains which was a big deal because we were new to all of it. Great restaurants are close by, and the grocery store and pharmacy were an easy walk from their place. Their neighborhood seemed very safe and having them upstairs provided an extra sense of security. We came to run the Chicago Marathon and they welcomed us with a fun chalkboard drawing of us in the race, and had post-marathon treats for us ready to go. 😃 They had Chicago postcards stamped and ready to mail with postage for us. Fridge was stocked with water (very helpful after our warm/humid race). Loved the lighted Chinese character for “light.” That felt like a motif not just for the night lite, but for all of our four days in Ben and Sam’s place. My wife and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
