I had high expectations going into Alex's place based on all the previous reviews. Guess what? His hip, clean, and welcoming apartment *exceeded* my expectations! Perfect amount of room for my group of six, and Alex went out of his way to welcome us with snacks, wine, and other beverages. The apartment is welcoming, the beds comfy, and the place is just immaculate - and just really, really well taken care of. There are window unit air conditioners, excellent shower/tub in a well-stocked bathroom.
We mostly used Lyft car service to downtown rather than the train, but the walk to the Blue Line is also doable. We did really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood looking at houses and finding good spots to eat.
Alex was always speedy with communication and answered all my questions. My friends and I have a meet-up in a different city each summer, and this AirBnB apartment was without a doubt one of the things that made Chicago so wonderful. Thank you so much, Alex! It was a pleasure.
