Noel was a great host - super responsive from my first inquiry all the way through checkout. The studio was extremely clean and comfortable, with fun art and decoration. The neighborhood is fantastic - asking around, it had a real neighborhood vibe, with people hanging out on their front steps or gardens chatting with neighbors and kids riding their bikes and scooters. Latin neighborhood with lots of great restaurants and fruit/juice/tamales/elote vendors on many corners ❤️ and street art, and an awesome looking Mexican cultural museum.
Notes:
-10 minutes drive to downtown/the Loop. Very convenient!
-Apartment was super super clean.
-The bed was very comfy (I have a very bad back and it was great) firm with a memory foam top.
- futon in the office was also comfortable for sleeping according to my college kid. So basically 2 bedrooms.
-Shower was amazing - huge and nice shower head. Towels were nice and thick and comfy and worked really well.
-Kitchen had all the basics - Keurig with Starbucks and Bustelo pods, sugar and powder creamer. Utensils and dishes for 4, cooking tools, kettle, toaster full size stove and fridge/freezer.
- tv has netflix, amazon and others. Wifi was great.
-Parking is quite full in the area. Noel generously supplied us with parking permits, but it can still take some circling to find a space.
- if you’re chemically sensitive, note that scented cleaning products and detergent as well as soaps are used as well as one plug in air freshener. It smelled like European cleaning products 🙂
We had a great stay and would definitely stay there again!
