Our stay at Samson's place was everything we hoped it to be and more. First off, the space itself is very nice. Beds are cozy, the living area comes with a comfortable couch and a generously sized flat screen TV, and the kitchen's efficient. There's also a great little backyard with some seating. Someone lives above the unit, but we never saw and rarely heard them in our whole ten day stay. Everything was stocked well, nothing ran out the whole time we were there. No need to be concerned about noise unless you're extremely sensitive to it, it's on a fairly quiet street and is insulated well, but I can't promise you wont hear some normal city noise like sirens, louder vehicles, etc. Those worried about security should rest easy knowing you need to pass through a coded gate and two coded doors to get inside. We also enjoyed the neighborhood, tons of restaurants are close by that will suit most if not all pallets. There's also a beautiful park less than two blocks away. Felt pretty safe walking around, considering it is Chicago of course. Drivers beware that parking can be scarce at night. Downtown is easily accessible by public transit (CTA) or Uber/Lyft, but its far enough away that the area isn't super chaotic and expensive. Finally, the host was fantastic. I was always responded to promptly and courteously. We even got to check in hours early because we came in on a redeye and had nowhere else to go. Very accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again when i'm back in Chicago, and i'd recommend it to anyone else.
