I stayed with Charlie for two weeks upon moving to the area, and I feel very lucky that I was able to find this airbnb! The house was easy to find and located on a safe, quiet street. I kept most of my belongings in my car and was worried about break-ins, but I never had any issue. My room and private bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The kitchen didn't contain many cooking utensils, but I had everything I needed to make sandwiches for myself while I was there. I appreciated being able to use the washer and dryer and having the opportunity to meet Charlie, who was very accommodating when I needed to extend my stay! He also gave me advice about the different neighborhoods in Chicago. One thing I will note is that my room was on the garden level and didn't get much sunlight, but it also had the bonus of staying nice and cool on hot days. Every other guest I interacted with was respectful and polite, and I think this is reflective of the atmosphere Charlie's created in his home. Overall, I had a very pleasant and comfortable stay, and I would recommend this airbnb to anyone visiting Chicago!
