Possibly the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! First of all, the location is incredible. It’s located in Andersonville, which is a very walkable neighborhood packed with great brunch spots, coffee shops, boutiques, bars, and plenty of restaurant choices. Jewel grocery store and Walgreens are about a 5 min walk away. Open parking at the end of the block or Larry also gave us parking permits in case those spots were full.
Second, the unit is incredible! Thoughtfully appointed, updated, and incredibly clean. We loved the downstairs living area with the huge tv to recover and watch Netflix after our late nights. There is plenty of space in the bedrooms, huge closets, and two dining areas. The kitchen is equipped with dishes and some basic cooking utensils. Big jetted tub upstairs if you want a relaxing soak or a large shower in the downstairs bathroom. Plenty of towels, sheets, pillows, soap, cleaning supplies, & paper products. They even supplied detergent for the fancy washer and dryer, which was a lifesaver since I’ve been on a week long road trip and needed to wash clothes!
Third, enjoy the patio outside! If you are unfamiliar with Chicago, I want to tell you that backyards are a real treat when you can find them. The owners have done a great job with the landscaping and making this space a relaxing little oasis.
Fourth, check in was a breeze (key pad door lock) and communication with Larry was prompt and courteous. All the info for the WiFi and Netflix was typed out very clearly, and they even left us a booklet with info about the neighborhood.
This place has set the standard for my 5 star Airbnb ratings. It will be the first place I check for availability for the next time I’m in Chicago and would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing stay in one of the best neighborhoods in the city.
