Leon was a great host. Responsive, friendly, and accommodating.
The apartment was generally clean, tidy, and in an excellent location (loved walking to any number of spots on 18th street for breakfast, like Carnitas Don Pedro’s or having a Vietnamese coffee at Ca Phe Da). The host also offered an assortment of soft drinks, a bottle of wine, and fruits - very nice touch!
Some issues that I’m sure the host can easily address for future guests:
- installing a reliable and faster wifi network (speeds were quite slow that made streaming in the nicely sized tv impossible)
- sealing the windows to avoid drafts, the living room was quite chilly overnight (where the couch and air mattress is) but the bedroom is cozy.
- ensuring kitchen was better stocked (eg wine bottle opener for complimentary wine) and the dishes a bit cleaner (less of an issue for us as we never cooked - why would you in Pilsen/Chicago...).
Again, overall enjoyed the stay. Would just ask the host if they’ve addressed the above criticisms, if they’re important to your stay.
