After viewing all of the photos on this airbnb home, we booked it seven months prior to our trip to Chicago...that's how much it impressed us. Nick was unequivocally the most gracious airbnb host we have ever experienced. He sincerely cares about his guests, is extremely responsive, and and cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. Every item in Nick's description is "spot-on." The home is located in a very quiet upscale residential neighborhood. The bus stops at the corner and the "el" which is Chicago's transit system is a five minute walk. Numerous restaurants and grocery stores are within a 10 minute walk. It took us about a half hour to get downtown to visit all of Chicago's tourist attractions by public transportation.
Nick was extremely generous with his time, answered all of our questions, and made excellent recommendations for the out of town tourist like us. He provided a variety of snacks, munchies, and beverages, took the trouble to secure Cubs tickets to two baseball games, and got us to the airport before the crack of dawn. We loved the beautiful all glass shower.
