This was my first AirBnB experience and Carrie & Brad were wonderful hosts! This was my 2nd trip to Chicago and wanted to stay somewhere "neigborhood-y," outside of downtown. Upon arrival, Carrie was kind enough to help me get my bearings, suggest local eateries and activities, and even drew me a little map. Bucktown was a great location, super close to cool areas like Logan Square and Wicker Park. I mostly used Uber to get around (10-15min ride to Chicago Art Institute) but they are close to a metro station as well.

The room was cute, clean, and had a computer with wifi and netflix. Brad's paintings adorning the walls gave the place a cool artsy vibe. The futon bed was super comfy- firm structure, but almost like a pillow top. (I chose this place over others offering air mattresses because I needed a good bed). I slept very well!

They have the loveliest backyard, where my friend and I shared our morning coffee and relaxed, watching squirrels run by and enjoying the sun. (She arrived a day later super late at night, and had no problems gaining access). Also did some stretching in their serene backyard after clocking in some miles on their treadmill. It was quite zen. All in all, a perfect stay.
