The experience from beginning to end was amazing!. The host, DeAnn, welcomed me and my sisters before we arrived for our big weekend together in the city, checking to see if there was anything she might help us with to make our stay the best it could be. She responded quickly to an inquiry we had about how to best get to her place from another location. She sent a video that showed how to use the keypad to enter. As a visual learner, I really appreciated this additional touch.
DeAnn’s place is clean, welcoming and well decorated. It was quite comfortable, temperature-wise, on all the days we were there, between extreme heat and a cooler day in Chicago. Hers is a cheerful space and it made me smile to be there. The pictures on the Airbnb site accurately represent her place. It easily accommodates the number of people she indicates in the description. There was even a “bonus” room that I used for meditation and doing my morning qigong!
DeAnn's place is located in a residential neighborhood and I felt very safe being there. Calm, peaceful, serene are words I would use to describe the area and the feeling of being in this space. I loved waking up in the morning to the serenade of birds. This added to the tranquil feel of our stay.
This host went above and beyond in many ways, from providing information about various activities going on in the city to having several games available for entertainment (my sisters always beat me in Family Feud!) to the coffee and wine/champagne bar set-up.
The beds were comfortable, the welcome manual is well-written, clearly outlining expectations for being a good guest.
My sisters and I absolutely loved staying at this place1 I highly recommend this Airbnb. I already plan to rebook later in the year.
