This was our first experience with Airbnb and it was great. Though I was afraid it would be awkward, our host, Karen, was so solicitous and friendly that we felt at home right away. Her home is nicely decorated and clean. The location is awesome. The bus stop is right across the street and the "L" train is about a block and a half away. It is a short ride to the McCormick Center and the Loop. We had a fabulous stay!
