This was our first time using Airbnb, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! This is a beautiful home in a quiet, well kept neighborhood. The curb appeal was over the top gorgeous! Cedar fenced large yard with beautiful flowers and professional landscaping. I also felt very secure with the levels of security in place. We were welcomed by a personalized sign on the kitchen counter along with a selection of goodies (chocolate and Belvita snack cookies). There is a full kitchen if you would need it, with a gas stove , microwave, coffee maker, and fridge that Emil had water and soda already chilled. There was also a large table and lots of counter space. The whole apartment is nicely decorated and it felt very comfortable and welcoming. The living room had comfortable leather furniture with plenty of seating, a large screen tv along with Direct TV and a PlayStation 3 was available for our use too. The bedrooms were nice and spacious as was the bathroom also, the shower was large and was stocked with shampoo, body wash and styling products, I had brought my own blow dryer, but noticed that there was one there if needed, along with a clothes iron. The location is just a short walk from a main transit station maybe 7-10 minute leisurely stroll through very nice neighborhoods. The Blue Line CTA will get you into downtown quickly and you can buy 1 Day passes right there at the station. Emil's wife was very helpful with information on public transportation, and Emil was willing to help with everything, it was so nice. This place would be perfect for many purposes, if you are flying in, it's close to O'Hare, if you are coming for ball games, the public transportation will get you there easily (we saw lots of Cub fans riding with us on the trains, heading to and from the games).We were there for sightseeing and it worked out perfectly. I would definitely stay here again if we go back to Chicago, and I can't wait to tell my friends and co-workers about this place.
