Well located studio. Met our needs perfectly. Nothing fancy but just a solid place to crash and/or call your home base right near Lincoln Park.

James made check-in incredibly easy simply leaving a lockbox with the key so that we could arrive anytime. Just closing the door behind us, check out was even simpler. He was communicative and prompt to respond to both my initial inquiry and the couple small logistic questions I had prior to arrival.

Before booking I had asked James about the parking situation. He was realistic warning that free parking could be difficult to come by and recommended reserving a discounted spot in advance on spothero.com I dropped the ball and didn't do this but found free parking (within about 0.5 miles) in Lincoln Park without too much hassle - maybe we got lucky.

Although it wasn't uncomfortable enough to stop us from reserving the place, it did feel slightly uncomfortable that James asked that we not mention Airbnb if we ran into the building manager. That said, after staying, not a big deal - just a technical logistic. 1) we never ran into her and 2) I can't believe that even if we had we would have been questioned - although the building isn't massive, enough people live there I don't imagine she would recognized if we "belonged" or not unless we were being awkward in some way.

I would stay again.
