The location is perfect if you want a neighbourhood vibe in Chicago. Wicker Park is laid back and a nice mix between independent places and more commonly known. The apartment is right by public trans, the trail, shops, restaurants and bars. The location is absolutely ace.

The apartment itself was impeccably clean and a great place to rest your head at night. On the downside, it’s a basement flat with little light.

My experience renting on Airbnb is that apartments are a fine line between too lived in versus not unique enough to its owners. For my taste, this apartment felt purposely purchased and renovated to be rented out. I prefer more of a lived in feel. Also, being a basement flat with little light, I thought it was a bit overpriced - came to 300 dollars per night with fees.
