Spent 5 nights in Michelle's apartment in West Town. Michelle is a great host and easily available and helpful. This is a nice, spacious apartment in a great neighborhood, conveniently located to just about anything you want to do in Chicago. Parking was easy, even getting back at night, thanks to the daily parking permits that Michelle provides. We managed to park in front of the house every night, which would have been impossible without the permits.
The apartment has a cozy, lived in quality. Plenty of furniture to meet various needs, and not a bunch of cheap junk put there just to fill out the space. Shower and towels are great and ample.
It was nice to have a King and a Queen bed. Unfrtunately, we found both of them a bit bouncy for our liking, especially as we are older and a bit more restless in our sleep. This may not matter to many people, but I note it in case it does to you.
One more thing to note is that the entrance to the apartment is in the back of the house. This is not a problem. It worked very well and was very private and safe. It also meant fewer stairs to enter the apartment. One small quirk to be aware of is that the entrance is into the master bedroom. Again, this did not matter to us, and probably won't matter to most renters. Once in, both bedrooms have their own doors and are very private.
We have rented a number of different AirBnBs in Chicago and in other cities and even rural locales, and the quirks are part of the package and part of the fun. With tight spaces and remodeled houses, quirky details are to be expected.
Overall, this was a very good rental for us. It was convenient for visiting our son who lives in the neighborhood, but was also a cheap Uber/Lyft ride to many places you might want to visit. The neighborhood is safe and Chicago Ave is lined with an endless array of restaurants, cafes and more. I am rating it 4 stars because of the bed situation for us.
