Kevin is an Air BnB unicorn. The grandmaster of funk, good times and everything else rad. There is no place I'd rather stay for multiple reasons. Heres the first one. We booked our recent stay here to host our co workers and allow them to experience all Chicago has to offer. His place is in the heart of the Bucktown/Whicker Park area. We have walked past this mysterious red telephone booth for years never knowing it was the key entry for this air BnB. It has rock n roll speakeasy written all over it. We checked in through a telephone booth, walked down the hall and took the elevator straight into what my friends felt like was an episode of MTV's the real world.
Theres enough beds to sleep everyone. The bathrooms are big enough to fit everyone and there are 4 different decks which is unheard of in the city. The Bathtub I believe can fit 4-6 pending on how you wanna rock. The main deck features a gas fire pit which completely made our trip. This pad allowed us to be flexible because when we had some down time. The roof top deck made it still feel like we were still out and about and not in a dingy hotel room. We drank margaritas and just kicked our feet up and listened to all the hustle and bustle of Milwaukee Ave.
On top of this, Kevin gave us parking passes and his friends made sure to tell us to move our car off Milwaukee before the city started towing which totally saved our asses. His parking passes worked on the streets right behind the Air BnB and we were able to park effortlessly which isn't easy in the City.
Now on a personal note, I've been saving this Air BB for 2 years now. I first booked Kevin's place for my honeymoon Aug, 2020. Because of the pandemic, we were forced to cancel our Chicago wedding and we were so nervous about trying to figure out how to work out a refund with Air BnB. Kevin got back to me quickly and was the Michael Jordan of awesome. He helped me and all he asked was if we could hopefully get a beer when I came back to Chicago. That dream was fulfilled this weekend but with tequila. I still owe you a beer Kev.
I can not begin to explain what his generosity meant to me. During 2020 so many friends and colleagues of mine lost thousands of dollars on event deposits and travel funds. At that time my 3 businesses were shut down and we were just skating by. Kevin not only helped us financially but also emotionally probably without even knowing it. If we were not able to get our money back for that trip I know I would feel differently about Air BnB and travel overall. Kevin is a dream maker. He has some cool friends and a really awesome fiancé who was so sweet to myself and my buds.
Thank you Kevin on a rad Chicago experience. One I will never forget. If you are lucky enough to stay here and meet the Legend then you will see.
