I will preface this review by saying that the host was very kind, accommodating, and quick to respond.
The space itself wasn’t ideal for my stay (doesn’t mean it may not work for you).
A few issues I had:
1. The space was freezing cold. I realize I was in Chicago during very chilly winter months, however there is a draft coming through all of the windows that left the space bone-chilling cold.
2. There is a bar/club/lounge directly below the apartment that is louder than loud in the weekends. We failed to get sleep and actually got up and left the apartment by 8am the next day (we paid to check-in early to another apartment and so happy we did!)
3. Cleanliness. There were dust bunnies on the floors in the bedrooms, the toilet was streaked as though it hadn’t been used in quite a while (when is the last time it was cleaned??), and the counter tops had salt and pepper spilled on them (again, never been wiped down??) - we also noticed grime built up in a vent.
4. The lights were tricky to use - there was a point where we just left the lights off because we couldn’t figure out how to turn them on.
5. The beds roll around making it difficult to sleep - the bed would roll away from the wall and then the pillows would fall onto the dusty floor....
Other than that, the space is cute and I appreciate the host allowing me to change my travel dates.
