We absolutely loved staying at Eric's house during our trip to Chicago. Our group of 8 was very comfortable in the spacious 2 level home, having 2 full and 1 half bathrooms was perfect for a larger group. Eric's home was immaculate when we arrived, the furnishings are new and comfortable, the main living level is perfect for group gatherings with flexible seating, ample tables and chairs. Upstairs, there are 3 separate bedrooms, the 2 front bedrooms share a connecting bath, and the back master bedroom has a separate bathroom - all are clean and modern and felt just like home. The view of the Chicago skyline from the roof deck was a special surprise.
We thought that the location was great, a quick walk to the L, and overall very walkable neighborhood. We had no trouble finding street parking. There are fun bars and restaurants within a block or two, and its not far from Wicker Park (where we spent our evenings).
Eric and his airbnb manager (Lexi) who lives in the lower unit were very accessible, and although we didn't need anything during our visit they were very responsive and attentive.
Overall we found Eric's home to be very welcoming, had a very comfortable stay and look forward to staying here again next year on our annual Chicago trip.
