Eric was an excellent host, his home was very nice and had all of the basic needs I would expect when staying somewhere for AirBnb. Downtown was a bit of a travel and that might change my needs for my next trip only because I would want to e downtown more often and rely on the lines rather than the Metra and Uber / Lyft. However this was a great place for my first experience of Chicago and it really was wonderful for my first time using AirBnb. He was a very flexible host and the house is available for all of your travel needs.
