This apartment is located at the very edge of a tony Lincoln Park area, though closer to the neighboring gas station than the multi-million dollar renovated brownstones.
The neighborhood can be considered safe and agreeable.
Public transportation, Whole Foods, and a few restaurants are within a few minutes by foot, and much more within a short Uber ride.
The host was easily reached by text and phone and very responsive and friendly.
The photos are accurate, but they don't really show that this is a pre-renovation brownstone, and a pure airbnb rental. It's more funky than luxury or well-appointed, with creaky floors (I hope I didn't disturb the downstairs neighbor!) slow drains, wonky electrics, and so-so HVAC, and sub-1 mbp/s wifi.
Of significant note: the second bedroom has no exterior window, which is a bit weird and apparently in conflict with Chicago building code 13-160-050 n2 and o4.
Be aware this a third-floor walkup, ending with a narrow and awkward final stairway. I was carrying a lot of gear up and down this everyday, and that was miserable.
