We didn't think it was possible to have a new favorite AirBnB stay as we have had a number of great experiences over the years, but Marlon's place has achieved our Peak Experience Award. We were looking for a local romantic getaway and Marlon's super luxurious brand new suite far exceeded our expectations. First, everything, and I mean everything is brand new with 5 star luxe finishes. We were impressed by the use of technology - lights coming on when you are in the foyer between the outside door and the entrance to the suite, a super high quality built in stereo system with ceiling flush mounted speakers distributed in the suite where you can connect your device via blue-tooth to play your own music and a bathroom fan that senses when it should turn on and off. The finishes, in particular the bathroom fixtures are what you would expect in a 5 star hotel with a rain shower with additional water jets which made it hard to leave and a double vanity sink area which my better half loved. The suite itself is beautifully laid out with ample counters, cupboards, eating and chilling out areas completely separated from the bedroom. We melted into the queen size bed and enjoyed hunkering down and watching a few movies during a snowstorm that started shortly after we arrived. Marlon and Jeff are super hosts, exceptionally welcoming and kind people who know the area and were able to easily answer all of our questions. We highly recommend their place if you are visiting Chicago and would like to escape the downtown area in favor of a more residential but in the city experience, which with a Metra commuter train service 2 blocks away, can deliver you into Chicago's Loop in 20 minutes.
