This was our first experience with Airbnb. Traveling to Chicago from out of state, we weren’t sure what to expect from the neighborhood. This home is located on a quiet street in the historic neighborhood of Hyde Park. (Look out for those “speed humps…” they’re bigger than they look!)
There was convenient parking located behind the house, which is on a one-way street. We had a wonderful experience. We had full access to the second and third floor of this historic brick home. The kitchen was well-equipped, and it was nice to have all the space we needed for 3 teenagers and a parent: a king sized bed in one room, a queen in the second room, and 2 twin beds in the bedroom on the third floor. There was also a ping pong table on the third floor, which was perfect: we didn’t have to worry about disturbing the neighbors when we were playing on the top floor of the house. We had a great time!
When we arrived on a hot summer day, we found the temperature inside to be 84 degrees, but within a few hours, the central air made most of the apartment cool. The third floor has a window AC unit at one end, but if you’re traveling in to this destination in the summertime and like to stay cool, you might want to bring an extra fan or two.
The floors were very creaky, but we really found the home to be comfortable and it was a nice getaway. The price was fair for Chicago, and the location was convenient and not far from the highway.
Check-in was easy, and the home was clean. I would stay here again, and would recommend to anyone who doesn’t mind a few stairs. We had a wonderful stay and our host was excellent! Thank you for being so accommodating! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
