Tim and his wife are the absolute standards as to what an Airbnb host and property should be. Tim met us at the exact time that we had texted with him and helped us with our luggage up to our third floor accommodations. Parking was plenty and free and right in front of the house. Unheard of for any property in Chicago. The house and bedroom were immaculate. The bed was a sleep number bed. We were shown our own private bathroom across the hall. Tim provided us with a welcome basket and were making snacks for the guests in the kitchen and invited us to the provided cereal, coffee, muffins, orange juice and yogurt that was there in the morning for us. The house was built in 1894 but looks newly restored. The house was also probably the cleanest place that I have ever stayed at. The bathroom was fully stocked with everything you needed and had way better towels than most Hiltons.
Tim had also provided us with a bag that contained every conceivable piece of literature about things to do in Chicago. There is also an area at the end of the hall for guests to use as a living room area with a couch and TV, so you can have an area outside of your room. Off the kitchen there is also a balcony that is a really cute part of the house as well.
The house sits literally 10 blocks from Wrigley field (which we walked to the game Saturday) and is in an area of $2 million dollar homes and I believe that this property is one itself. I think it is about a 4 block walk to the "L" subway that you can take anywhere you want to go. We are members of LA Fitness and even got to walk to our gym on Sunday. Catholic Church is a short walk as well. There is a Chicago bike rental station literally 2 blocks from the house. We loved everything about this property and have already recommended it to five of our friends. When going to Chicago, do yourself a favor and stay here and don't pay to stay at the Hilton. It's also half the price. Tim made us feel like family from the minute we met him, and we hope to be back as many times as we can as long as it is available and the hosts are willing to share their wonderful property for the world to see.
