Hans was an excellent host! He was prompt in responding to my questions about Chicago, as well as those about his home. The home was beautiful, clean, and exactly as pictured in the photographs. Everything was in excellent condition, and the beds were very comfortable - firm, yet soft. The entire home is very quiet - no squeaky floors or steps. Loved the 2 living areas - a great bonus for a group! The location was good, and Chicago's transit was awesome! A great place to stay!
