All in all my friend and I had a good stay. Great location for us, and also walking distance from Lake Michigan, Navy Pier. Master bedroom is very spacious but the other one is on a much smaller side. The check-in was smooth, and apartment was clean.
The main issue we had was the heating in the apartment, which was not pleasant since we were in the Chicago winter. Luckily the week we stayed here was slightly warmer than other weeks. If it had been any colder in Chicago, we might have had to change the Airbnb. The first night we did not feel cold but 2nd day onwards the heaters were not working and it got very cold in the apt. We let Stephanie know and she (as well as her son) guided us in turn the knobs of the heaters in all rooms, but to no avail. The heat did not start working for the rest of our trip. We were told that maintenance would come by but no one showed up even though Stephanie told us they had. Not sure if the misrepresentation was from her end or the maintenance people. Towards the end of our stay I messaged Stephanie again about the heat but got no response unfortunately. She apologized for the heat issue after we checked out and let us know that the maintenance people finally came by, but not sure.
During our stay we read that on check out we have to turn off the heat, lights, etc. Perhaps that is what the previous guest had followed. It would have been good to have had communication to that effect that we might have to turn on the heat ourselves if it had not been turned on by the cleaning people or someone else before we check in.
It’s a good stay if you’re looking for an entire unit with 2 bedrooms but make sure the heat is working in the colder months!
