I've been using Airbnb for over 10 years now, and this is probably my worst experience. I picked this location because of the great reviews and location.
Let's start with the positive, the location is convenient (although not downtown), and the bed is very comfortable. The premise is well put together and Anny did a really good job with that.
Now, I'll be objective and share my concerns - things that I wish I'd have known before booking this room. First, the location is not as clean as it seems (everything is documented with photos). I found long hair (blond and brown) everywhere, in the bathroom, sticking to the walls and towels, on the floor, and on the sheets. Also, some surfaces had a layer of dust. I doubt these were properly cleaned, if even cleaned, to be honest. I brought up these issues to Anny but, surprisingly, she never replied to my message even though she was usually quick to answer my other messages. Second, although the description says that we could hear some noise, what I experienced was nothing I was prepared for. Be prepared to have a running toddler, 2 dogs barking/crying/running, and adults dropping/moving things on top of you (upstairs neighbors) from morning (literally from 6 am) to nearly midnight every day. I stayed for 3 nights and even if I wore earplugs (available in the kitchen), I could still be woken up at 6 am every day due to the noise. There is also some noise from the street (music from local bars, dumpsters being picked up, etc) and from other residents since the walls are paper thin. Also, the view from the window is not that glamorous. You can see dumpsters and a small parking lot with parked funeral cars from a funeral home located across the street.
Last, be ready to receive countless messages with detailed house rules and instructions to enter the property. While I understand that having some rules and instructions are important and much needed, this is way too much and overwhelming. Also, be prepared to open 3 doors (with physical keys and keypads) to get into the condo. I feel like it's easier to get into a bank. Also, there is a keypad to get into the bedroom. Make sure to memorize the code or take your phone with you, otherwise, you will be easily locked out (this may happen since the bathroom is outside the bedroom). Also, although we pay a cleaning fee of $40, Anny expects you to remove the sheets/pillowcases and dirty towels and pile them up in the bedroom. In the process, I realized that the pillows were ripped and marked with yellowish stains, and even contained hair (everything is documented with photos). How is that acceptable?
Overall, I did not have a great experience. I was sleep deprived since I couldn't sleep sufficiently due to the noise. I was there for business, and I could barely function the day I gave a seminar at the conference I was attending. Also, a day after moving into the room, I developed some rashes and even saw a doctor when I returned home. Since the sheets and towels may not have been cleaned properly, I'm now wondering whether this was the cause of my condition. In my opinion, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want a quiet and cleaner place to stay while visiting Chicago.
