First off, this was definitely one of my most enjoyable Airbnb experiences, even though I usually go for private units. I definitely recommend reading the guidebook thoroughly, maybe even a couple times over. My guest and I went tried 3 restaurants from the guidebook and they were all amazing and delicious. Our room was cozy and spacious enough for the two of us. The bed fit us comfortably as well. I brought an extra blanket for myself and was warm through the night, the host also offers extra blankets if you need them. The shelving built into the wall was really useful and the blinds did a good job of staving off the morning sunlight until we were ready to get up. The other guests were courteous. My guest and I watched Netflix one evening. The couches were very comfy. I was impressed by how clean the space was all the time, especially the bathrooms. We didn’t utilize the kitchen but did use the fridge for leftovers and drinks. Parking wise, I suggest paying for the parking stickers. We weren’t able to find good street parking and the convenience is worth it. We utilized public transit to get around the city and this location makes accessing public transit so easy. We were able to travel to Shedd Aquarium, the Bean/Millineum Park, and downtown. If you aren’t sold yet, having a host who really cares about your experience will hopefully tip the scales. Kam checked in on us after our first day to see how things were going. The host will go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant and problem-free as they possibly can. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. I highly recommend this stay if you’re coming to Chicago.
