Where do I begin?! With the accommodations being booked on short notice, and for traveling on somewhat of a budget, my heart and I definitely lucked out with this amazing Airbnb and its host, Ami. It is situated in the perfect location within Lake View; blocks from Wrigley, walking distance to Lake Michigan, and a short ride to downtown Chicago, to be able to explore any interests you have while in the Windy City, and provides for unlimited transportation options for getting around the city. It is also located in a safe and comfortable part of the city that never makes you feel uneasy about being out and about, either during the day or at night.
As for the host, Ami was outstanding and extremely gracious, and helped make our trip awesome from the time I booked. Whether it was purchasing a bottle of wine for our arrival, upon request, or letting us check-in a few hours in advance, Ami made every effort to go above and beyond to make our trip memorable. He provided tons of Chicago tourist information that helped make planning out our day adventures easy. And being hip to the local social scene, Ami was smooth when it came to pointing us in the right direction for dining and taking in drinks, as well as turning us onto and getting us into restaurants that we would have otherwise not be able to.
Being somewhat of a romantic getaway, privacy and our own space for making out was important to picking the right location, and Ami's place didn't disappoint. We enjoyed a comfortable room with our own bathroom without any uneasy feelings of intruding or being intruded upon. The house had recently been redone/remodeled and looks amazing! The bedroom was big enough to feel comfortable in and had quiet a cozy bed. The private bathroom was right across the hall from the bedroom, so there were no uneasy midnight pee-breaks.
After all is said and done, Ami and his hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We would, and are planning on, returning and will for sure be booking Ami's residence.
thanks for listening!
