Oh wow...where do I begin. Staying at Mindy + Tony's was absolutely restorative for me. I decided to come to Chicago on a whim, after a breakup. I had no idea what I would do, but I saw the Air BnB listing, and I just thought...why not!
What incredible fate that this lovely apartment found me. West Town is super charming- it isn't downtown, but it's 14 minutes to River North via uber (I commuted 3x a week to my office), or about 40 minutes via the 65 bus (4 min walk).
IF YOU COOK: The apartment literally has every possible thing you could need. This apartment was sadly a waste on me as I ordered from a different restaurant every night, but literally every type of pot or pan or cooking utensil you could ask for...they have it.
The bed is like a dream - it's so unbelievably cozy and comfortable and big - and is tucked away like a little haven. Slept soundlessly every single night, and ran the overhead fan for sound...SO RELAXING. There is also...wait for it...a mounted TV right overhead at the perfect angle for your head, so if you like to watch TV before bed (or lay around lazily all Saturday AM) this place is absolutely for you.
The couch isn't extremely comfortable, but the big leather chair is - and there are lots of places to sit around the apartment if you plan to entertain at all.
All in all...it was just a great experience. So great, that I actually decided to stay another 2 months (in a different place because this apartment BOOKED for the next month almost immediately after I moved in - no shock!)
Mindy is lovely, she's always available - she is so responsive and helpful. There's great laundry in the basement...a beautiful back yard.
So I really loved it, I fell in love with Chicago here...and you will too!
