If you are looking for a safe, quaint place in Chicago, I would recommend Demitri’s place.
Positives: Awesome location. Lincoln Square was great and cute. Three minutes from the train station. Demitri’s instructions for check-in and just communication, in general, were fantastic.
Negatives: first off, not that it is a bad thing, but for all to know, the place is a bit smaller than it seems. Photos are staged very nicely. I was a bit disappointed when the kitchen did not work correctly- the only reason I decided to air BnB vs. a hotel was a working kitchen. During my stay, the stove (due to gas in the building being fixed) and dishwasher were not working. If you are traveling in colder months, the radiator was extremely loud at night, and the train is relatively close, so it was also a bit noisy. If you are driving a car, it is street parking- during my stay, I did not have trouble finding parking close to the building, but I did have to pay depending on the time of day.
Overall it was a pretty good experience- and I would recommend Demitri’s place.
