Mark was such a great host- if Airbnb has a 'host of the year' award, he deserves it. Upon arriving, Mark let us know the upstairs neighbors were having their windows redone. Although it was pretty loud at times, we were out and about a lot so It wasn't too troublesome, but he insisted on buying us a bottle of wine on the first night for our troubles, which I found very sweet. The next day we found out they didn't get all the work done on the windows so it would be another day of loud noises- I got a text first thing in the morning from Mark letting us know he wanted to refund us for one of our nights, which I wasn't expecting at all, but so grateful for. I'm really not the type of person to complain so for him to step and take that initiative really meant a lot.

The neighborhood was perfect and Mark had a lot of great recommendations for places to eat around the area- I don't think we could have found a bad place to eat in that city if we tried- everything was amazing!

Couldn't have chosen a better location- 7 minute walk to the blue line, 15 ride from the city- such a great neighborhood feel with treelined streets.. it was really lovely.

Mark was so easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The apartment was very clean and the bed was super comfy!

Overall we had such a great experience and I would definitely book with Mark again the next time we return to Chicago!
