This was a great find for us (two couples). We relied on Lyft for transportation around Chicago, and never had to wait more than a minute or two for a pickup., and, depending on traffic, it was always a short ride downtown.
You'll get a little exercise going up and down the stairs, but that's probably a good thing with all the good restaurants we visited.
We were first-time AirBnB-ers. This was absolutely a positive experience that will encourage us to do it again and again. Thanks, Jake!
