I am very torn when it comes to reviewing Andrew's place.
To begin with: It is a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment in a great location. Well connected by buses and the red line. The view is fantastic and the building has a gym and a nice terrace with some BBQ grills and sofas.
The downside: The information I received from Andrew before booking was simply incorrect. First of all the pictures are not of his apartment. It looks similar, abut its a different place. You might notice two different kitchen - neither one is in Andrews place. There was also a picture of a pool before I booked the place (he took it down in the meantime). I specifically asked Andrew if I had access to it. He assured me the pool was fantastic and I had access to all the amenities. Upon arrival he apologized and I was told that the pool was currently under construction. According to Andrews friend (who handled the check in) AND the neighbors: There is no pool in the building! I also asked if he rented out to multiple people at the same time. I was told that he lived in one room and only rented out the spare bedroom. I never got to meet Andrew and a few days after my arrival other guests moved in the other bedroom. Luckily it was a very sweet couple from Brazil and we got along just great!
Overall, I had a fantastic time in Chicago and like I mentioned in the beginning It is a great apartment! I simply don't appreciate all the misleading information I received before completing the booking. Oh and the internet didn't work. That was a bummer.
