Afsha's place was a great space to stay in for our trip to Chicago. The kitchen had all the tools we needed, bathroom had everything down to shampoo and soap if you forgot yours, and the living space was very comfortable. The apartment doesn't look like an basement level, as it's been so nicely remodeled and decorated.
Afsha was also a wonderful host - the easiest check-in instructions I've ever had, she provided free, off-street parking in the back, had snacks and water bottles for us when we got there, and the place was so clean when we arrived. We had an issue with one window, and even though I messaged her pretty late at night she responded right away and set up someone to come ASAP. She was very accessible the whole trip and very nice!
Two notes - we were there at a very cold time, so it was a little chilly being that it's in the basement (the unit shares a heating system with the upstairs unit). Tip if you're there during the cold winter months, have some nice warm comfy clothes. Another thing - if you aren't used to hearing people above you, note that depending on who it is above you, you'll possibly be able to hear them walking around. This is pretty typical, though, of an apartment space.
Overall great stay at Afsha's apartment unit - we really enjoyed our time there!
