This was my first time to stay at this AirBnB. The main reason why I selected this AirBnB was because it was the closest AirBnB to the Irving Park brown metro station. It was about a 0.4 mile or 7 minute walk. I had no trouble parking my Audi on the street near the AirBnB during my stay. This is an older first floor two bedroom, one nicely upgraded bathroom, two family home with high ceilings, a second tenant on the top floor, basement and 5 steps leading up to the front doors. The landing was upgraded with new wood, but, the wood steps leading up to the unit were well worn and in need of replacement. Our unit was located on the lower floor. The door code worked fine for our entry and exit. The unit is very dark, since all of the window treatments were pulled down. The side windows receive very little light because the adjacent homes are about 4 feet away. I was able to open two of the front window shades to enjoy the morning sun rise, however, the third shade was broken. There is no air conditioning although when we visited in mid May the weather was with temps in the 50-70’s so we did not require any air conditioning. There are three house fans in the dining room and the two bedrooms. The unit had original wood floors, which creaked a little. I was able to open the windows in the two bedrooms and dining room to cool off the unit. The place was clean except there were some dirty dishes left in the dishwasher so we ran the dishwasher to clean and store them.
The shower included liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner. The linen closet and supply closet includes an abundance of towels and the supplies you could possibly use during your stay except for face cloths and tissues. The supplies are much more than what my other past AirBnB’s provided. That is a definite positive. The Keurig coffee maker included enough coffee pods for two people during our stay. Sugar was also provided. The refrigerator door needs to be pushed closed for proper closure. The bathroom light above the bathroom mirror was not installed although there was enough light in the bathroom from the four down lights located in the ceiling. Deadbolts are also installed on both the front entrance and rear yard doors. A propane barbecue is on the rear wood deck in the back yard.
Two Cubs parking placards were available for my Audi when the Cubs were here for home games. I placed one of the Cubs parking placard in my Audi on Monday when the Cubs played at home.
Joe our host was very responsive via messaging usually within seconds or minutes, so we had no problems. Overall we were very pleased with our stay here and would return again if required.
