Our stay here was excellent. The hosts were very timely, helpful communicators and answered all of our questions promptly. Check in and check out were both seamless experiences. Overall, the airbnb had everything we needed for our stay in Chicago and we were very pleased with our stay.
Details:
Sleep: We fit 8 people very comfortably. If you have people in your group that don't want to share a bed, then you wouldn't be able to fit 8 people as comfortably.
Cooking/Eating: We only used the kitchen for coffee in the morning and storing drinks in the fridge. There's a regular coffee machine and a keurig-equivalent coffee machine which suited our needs perfectly. While there's no proper dining table in the house, there is a big kitchen island we were all able to sit at and enjoy coffee together. Other than that, the kitchen seemed to be well stocked with cups, plates, pots/pans, appliances, etc.
Living Area: The living room only has seating for 6 people. It wasn't a problem for us since we were mostly out exploring the city. When we did all want to spend time in the living room together, we used some of the bar chairs from the kitchen island.
Temperature: The 2 upstairs bedrooms have window AC units which were nice for individuals who like to set their own temperature. The rest of the house is controlled via a Nest thermostat. The basement level (which has 1 bedroom and 1 bath) can feel a lot colder than the main floor at times, which was perfect for people who preferred colder sleep temp.
Parking/Transportation: We had 3 cars and we were able to find free parking in the neighborhood for all 3 of our cars without a problem. Public transportation options are all within a 20 minute walk from the house.
Neighborhood: Felt very safe at all times and we did a ton of walking. Lots of cute neighborhood bars, restaurants, and coffee shops to frequent. There is a Target, Whole Foods, and Jewel Osco all within a 10 minute walking distance.
