5 stars.
Location
Ami’s place is really close to the L elevated public transit train, so there’s an occasional rumble. Ami provided a noise machine/fan to provide white noise and I slept fine.
<10 minute walk to two train stations (and Wrigley Field), which made it easy to get to my office downtown.
Loved trying the restaurants in Boystown.
Communication
Ami was in touch within minutes of my booking request, again a week before my arrival, and again the day of arrival.
Bed/Linens
Very comfortable bed, soft linens.
Hangers
Many quality wooden hangers were provided. I was staying for two weeks and I really appreciated that.
Bath towels/body wash
Adequate.
Hospitality
Fantastic. Ami enjoys sharing his home with guests and sharing his city. He has relationships with restaurants/servers in the area (who doesn’t like special treatment when visiting a restaurant in a foreign city?), and I always felt at home in his home.
