Karen is the best. This was my first airbnb experience and I was so satisfied with both the host and the apartment. The house reminds me of a very sophisticated apartment in the 80s-90s. It is beautiful outside, and even more spectacular inside. The scenery you can see through windows will blow you away. It will definitely give you a very unique experience compared to most of the hotels. The only comparable experience I had so far was when I stayed in a very well-known antique hotel in LA which actually held an academy award ceremony in the early 1900s. You may feel like a movie star. ;) The house was also very clean and well taken care of. I actually stayed there on my birthday and Karen was so sweet that she gave me a beautiful little cupcake to celebrate my birthday. What more can I wish for? Thank you, Karen. One of the best Chicago trips ever thanks to you.
