This was quite possibly the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. From the very beginning, Kevin and Ketan were super helpful. I was hosting a bachelorette party there for a weekend, and we had family staying one night and friends staying the other night, so we needed extra sets of sheets. They made sure we had them, and they also allowed us to check in early in order to set the place up for the party. When we arrived, Kevin met us down by the parking space to give us the low down on accessing the building, and he even carried all of our (really heavy) luggage and booze up the 3 flights of stairs for us. He showed us around the place, gave us recommendations in the area, gave us some extra toilet paper, and told us that if there was anything we needed to send him a message. At the end of the weekend, he came back down to help us carry trash out to the dumpster and load our car, and he even surprised our (hungover) bachelorette party with Stan’s donuts, which was so incredibly thoughtful. Kevin went above and beyond what I’ve ever experienced from an Airbnb host and made our weekend absolutely perfect! I will definitely book this place in the future for another girls weekend!
Regarding the place itself, it was super clean, large enough for 10 girls for the weekend, and nice and open for hanging out and having drinks. The TV had Spotify on it, which was great for playing music. There was an electric wine opener, which was key, as well as a water filter in the fridge. The one bedroom had a HUGE bathroom with a double vanity which was perfect for 5 girls getting ready together for the evening. Tons of plates and glasses in the kitchen (there was even enough stemless wine glasses for all of us to do a Veuve toast) and anything else you would need. Plenty of towels for showering, and there’s a washer and dryer in the unit too, so we even washed the towels after our first night to use again. Location is great - walking distance to tons of bars and restaurants in River North, a Starbucks a block away, liquor store down the street, gas station across the street... you really couldn’t beat it. We were all so happy with our stay and could not recommend the place and the hosts enough!
