Staying with Scott wasn't like staying with any AirBnB host, it was more like staying with an old relative you haven't seen in a while. He and his wife Jill were extremely welcoming and I felt right at home my first night there. I had a bit of concern traveling to a notoriously dangerous city, but Scott took the time to reassure me and address any questions I had. He even woke up at four in the morning to see me and my girlfriend off!

The place itself is slightly far from the tourist attractions (about a 20 minute car ride), but well beyond worth it. Like I said, Chicago is notoriously dangerous but it definitely didn't feel like that at Scott's lovely home. It's impeccably clean, has good wifi, A/C, a fridge, and your own private showers with clean towels already provided. Not to mention, it's extremely quiet and private at all times.

I found it hard to bring myself to pack to leave because I wanted to stay there for another few weeks. We will definitely be back. I'd highly recommend Scott's place to anyone traveling to the city for the first time. It was the best AirBnB stay I've had so far.
