If you are looking for a home away from home then, Marty and Rob's place is a must! From the modern decor, marvellous memory foam mattress (which when you suffer from back issues like myself, you worry when sleeping away from home), the tranquil garden space and the ever charming and beautiful four legged companion, Lee ❤.
My 3 day stay was very comfortable and I was appreciative of the art work that lined the apartment from local artists and Rob himself 🤩
The location of their property is spot on and close to the red line CTA which takes you Downtown in approximately 30 minutes. If you're into baseball, the Cubs stadium is super close on the train and the area (Andersonville) is served by several buses and has plenty of amenities from Walgreens (large 24hr pharmacy) to diverse eateries.
If you're a dedicated Chicago Fire fan, like myself, it's super easy to get to "Molly's" bar and the firehouse 😉
Though I saw Marty and Rob each day, they were not invasive or intrusive. We shared friendly exchanges and I got the impression that they would be as interactive as you needed/wanted them to be.
Waking up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee each morning was wonderful (eventhough I do not consume caffeine, I love the smell). Those of you that also do not consume caffeine, there is a small selection of herbal teas.
Communication via the Airbnb app was very prompt and effective. There was never a point where I felt unprepared for my visit because they were very efficient in making sure that I had all the information and instructions I needed ahead of time.
Thank you Marty and Rob for your hospitality. I have already recommended you to my U.S family and friends and will be sure to continue spreading the word once I return home to London 😊 as well as looking for an opportunity for my own return 😉
