From the moment I booked my stay with Nicky, it was clear that she was a seasoned host. Her communication was always timely and clear. She was very flexible with my check-in and extremely responsive with all my needs.
This was exactly what I needed for my weekend at Lollapalooza. Being close to the Green Line, it made transportation to the loop a breeze. I generally felt safe in the area. Although it shows signs of gentrification it can still be a little rough later on at night. I still took the train three out of four nights, but did choose to uber one night. During the day, however, many people I passed were friendly and a few even said "hi".
The space itself was clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could need. The bathroom was stocked with the necessary amenities, and the shower was spacious with a pleasant rainfall shower head. The bed, although a bit noisy, was very comfortable. More so than the hotel I had slept in the three nights prior. The wifi could be a bit spotty in the living room, but I was still able to connect my laptop to the tv to stream Netflix without any issues. If you've ever lived in a lower unit, or had a basement bedroom like I did growing up, you'll know that there's some things you can't avoid. You will find some spiders and there will be some noise from above, but it wasn't anything that detracted from the enjoyment of my stay.
Overall, I was very pleased with my stay with Nicky, and would gladly stay there again. My only regret was not having the chance to meet her in person or taking a walk through their urban farm.
