We were fortunate enough to be Amy's first Airbnb guests. I say fortunate because she an amazing host. Prior to our arrival, she answered all my questions and provided a list of local restaurants and attractions. Once we arrived, it was early evening and Amy recommended Farm Bar nearby. They had a great selection of local craft beers and awesome burgers. When we wanted to try real Chicago deep dish pizza, she recommended a couple of spots. Bacino's of Lincoln was spot on -- light, crisp crust; not greasy at all. Her knowledge and quick responses were invaluable to making the most of our stay.
Her home is a beautiful heritage duplex. The rental unit is the main floor and Amy and her family live in the unit above. The space is full of charm -- original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and big windows. It has 3 bedrooms -- not just 3 beds (there's also an extra inflatable mattress). This is important so everyone can get a good night's sleep, hard to find at this price point AND it's only a 15 minute walk to Wrigley Field (Google Maps will tell you 24 -- but it's less). The beds are comfortable and she provides a linen closet full of towels. The kitchen has everything you need and the unit has its own central air for your comfort.
If you're looking for a friendly host who is knowledgeable, a location that offers all the comforts of home, terrific local restaurants, and a short walk to Wrigley, then Amy's place is for you!
