I can’t say enough good things about Bridget’s place. The location, the beauty of her place, the value of it…all worth every penny.
The loft itself is stunning and just as described in the pictures. It was perfect for me and my friends…two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus the in-unit washer and dryer was so convenient. No one wants to do laundry after retuning from vacation. It is a second floor walk-up with no elevator if that’s something you wanna know, but we didn’t mind the stairs at all and it helped with all the great food of Chicago we feasted on.
The location was perfect for me and my friends…the area is so walkable with lots of cool places for food and drinks and fun, and the center of the West Loop is just a quick 10-15 minute walk. There was awesome live music down the street, but you can’t hear it whatsoever inside the apartment. There’s also a Starbucks right around the corner that we frequented our entire trip with the friendliest baristas if you need a coffee fix.
Check-in at this place was probably one of the easiest experiences I’ve ever had with an AirBnb and Bridget is even kind enough to give extra keys for the main door of the building, (didn’t have to ask, they were just there). That in itself was wonderful, especially if you’re with friends like me and the group wants to break off and do different things. You don’t need a key for the apartment itself - Bridget makes that even easier and more convenient with a special code for the door. We really appreciated that.
Bridget is also great with communication - before, during, and even after our stay. One of the best hosts I’ve ever encountered. She really made this trip amazing and stress free, and is so lovely. Can’t thank her enough for that.
There were also zero issues with the wifi if that’s something you’re curious about. I’m a freelance writer and needed to write an article even though I was on vacation and not having to worry about wifi was a relief. The apartment also has your standard smart TV with all your usual streaming options which was nice for late night hangouts in the living room.
Parking was not as big of an issue as so many warned me about. We walked and Ubered a lot, but on the occasions we drove, I never had an issue parking in front of the building or around the block. You do have to pay for street parking during the day, but after 10pm it was free…free after 8pm around the corner. Don’t let that discourage you from this booking this place.
My friends and I just loved this loft and we’ll definitely be wanting to stay here again when we visit Chicago again.
Thank you again Bridget for being such a gracious host and for allowing us to stay in your home. You’re a gem.
