Wow, what an experience. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed Chicago. It was my first Airbnb experience & yes, I was impressed. When I travel, I have always lodged at the Embassy Suites; spacious rooms, evening cocktail hours and pool. The only reason I decided to try Airbnb was watching Instant Hotel on Netflix (Please if you haven't gotten into Instant Hotel, please do). Let's talk about this beautiful setup when you first open the door, you definitely put alot of work into it. The spare key as a back up to the electronic door system, perfection. Now all the light switches; maybe a creative labeling approach, they got kind of confusion a couple of times. I have to give it up to the owners for the snacks; the chips, stocked cabinet & ice ready to go. Before I go any further though, there are rules when you first see the listing, rules the days leading into checking & then more rules upon arrival. Yes, I smoked outside & the home security, NEST, is watching at all times. Now that backyard amazing; alot of space, only used a quarter of the backyard but beautiful. Now it's location, in West Chicago, definitely gentrified; but to get to downtown it's about a $25+ Lyft or $3 train ride ($10 All Day). Please everyone be careful on these trains, they get dirty & ratchet. The bed is very comfortable, but the television in the bedroom was no fun at all. I dealt with it though and enjoyed the living room television. To all travelers be warned, you will hear everything that is happening upstairs. That thermostat was to die for, no issues on the heating/cooling! I will give this property an overall rating of 8.5 out of 10.
