I really enjoyed my stay here for the month of March 2019 for a medical externship. For Chicago, It was affordable and has great features that not all places will have I am sure. Andy, the host is friendly, caring, and helpful which makes your stay more comfortable. I felt very safe as well and the street parking was never an issue - plenty of parking. There is a park nearby I would have enjoyed had it been warmer. His bulldogs were sweet and very well behaved. They made me feel more at home as I was missing my dogs. The common areas seem to be deep cleaned everyday and the room is tidied as well. The home is decorated well and everything has its place. I miss the shower and the bed! I decided to order the same mattress for my home it was so comfy. I was grateful to be able to use the kitchen to make meals. He has breakfast for guests out for the morning which included cheeses, sandwich meat, fruit, cereal, juices, etc., which is a sweet touch. The experience overall is very welcoming and comfortable. There is often a candle lit or a fragrant wax melt going in the common area. Good to keep in mind for any fragrance sensitive travelers that there are also a few fragrance plug ins about the home. I may be mildly sensitive to fragrance but it did not seem to bother me too much. I simply unplugged the one in my room and it was really no issue. Like the usual difference between people's preferences, there were scents I preferred over others. Overall, staying here was amazing. I have a year left of staying at various air bnbs and I think my first experience with air bnb at Andy's will probably stay at the top as the best. Andy does so much to make it above and beyond your expectations!
