I can’t say enough about Russ! As a first-time Airbnb user, he made my inaugural experience so easy in booking my accommodations. He’s an definitely A+++ Host! :)
When my first attempt at an Airbnb reservation was cancelled on me without notice, it was Russ to the rescue! He made it so easy to book a new place without worry. His prompt email communication prior to my arrival really put me at ease about my upcoming trip.
Russ is literally a one man travel agent, offering invaluable suggestions about sightseeing, public transit, parking, and the surrounding neighborhoods. He lives & works on-site and was easily available for any questions. He’s a great conversationalist, and we had some great talks about art, community, and life in Chicago. He even went above and beyond in helping me dig out my car after two days of heavy snow.
The accommodation has all the amenities a traveller needs in a safe, private and comfortable oasis in the middle of a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in North Chicago. Located between Andersonville & Lincoln Square neighborhoods, it’s only a few blocks away from eclectic shops and restaurants. Safe and walkable for an urban hike, too. Perfect for a weekend visit to Chicagoland.
It’s always a pleasure to meet good folks like Russ while traveling, and it’s no wonder he’s a Super Host. Thanks to Russ & Airbnb for making my recent trip so stress free & enjoyable. I’ll certainly book with Russ again next time I come to town! :)
