I don’t want to echo other reviews too much, but we absolutely loved staying at Sam and Lindsey’s place! It is one of the best Air BNBs we have stayed at by far.
A few points:
1. Originally I choose this location because of the easily accessible parking. I know another reviewer mentioned this, but parking really was super easy and always available right in front of the property’s entrance.
2. This being our first trip to Chicago, I was told by multiple people specifically to avoid the South Side. Already having booked Sam and Lindsey’s place, I was a little concerned because I knew absolutely zero about the area. However, I am so glad we stayed there—grocery shopping, pizza, and coffee were <10 minutes away and the neighborhood itself was super quiet! Without traffic downtown was less than a 20 minute drive away. The property itself is gated and with parking right outside we always felt very safe. I’m a little dismayed by peoples’ prejudice against this area as we had an amazing stay and will definitely be returning when we come back to Chicago!
