Alicia was a great hostess, very accommodating and helpful. She went out of her way to acquire parking passes for our large family, and was very helpful in getting the house set up for our stay.
The house is an older Chicago home which could use a little loving care. Alicia is a new owner who I believe is working to make improvements, but the house didn't quite live up to my expectations. Although I don't have any major complaints there were a few things that could use some attention. The yard for one does not look anything like the Airbnb pictures, and is not really usable at the moment.
On the bright side the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for our large family. We enjoyed our stay very much and the location near to down town, and the rail station made it easy to get around. Alicia lives on the property and stays in the basement while the house is rented. This is not an issue as we never saw her, and she laundered towels for us during the week.
Plenty to do and see in Chicago, didn't have enough time to see it all, so who knows we may find our way back again.
Thank you Alicia for your hospitality and sharing your home with us.
