My husband, 2 young boys (10, 7) and I stayed at this Airbnb. We had such a great time! The location could NOT be better. Seriously, it’s close to everything. And having a bar to go to at the end of the day for a night cap or a scoop of ice cream was icing on the cake.
We are a very low key family that is happy to have a clean, comfortable place to sleep at night. I will mention some things that might make a difference to others, although for us they were non-issues. The cooking utensils (pots, pans, spoons, mixing bowls, etc.) are basic. You will not be preparing fancy meals here. But why would you want to anyway? There are tons of great places to eat in the neighborhood - leave the cooking to someone else! Also, there is bar noise from people walking by to and from the bar. If you’re sensitive to noise when you’re sleeping, this might bother you. However, no one was ever overly loud or obnoxious while we were there and any noisy person that walked by didn’t stand in front of the windows to talk - they were gone within seconds. Plus we had a sound machine on, so no biggies. Finally, the apartment itself is quirky. It’s old and therefore has a few things that might be considered odd. Maybe the layout isn’t the most conducive to watching TV, or it’s not as updated as some might like. This isn’t the Ritz, no bells and whistles here. But it’s clean, it’s comfortable, it’s funky in a great way, there was always free parking, for the most part it was quiet and the location cannot be beat. I would DEFINITELY stay here again on our next visit to Chicago.
