The Bottom line is this is a perfectly fine place to stay as long as you know what you are getting. Here is what we (family of 4) really liked
1) Cathy. She’s everything you want in an Air Bnb host. She’s communicative, she proactively checks in on you, and you can tell by all the stuff in the apartment that she is genuinely trying to make you feel comfortable.
2). Location. We really wanted a place with a parking spot (we are on a cross country trip so the car was very full) and walking distance to Wrigley. Finding a place with both of these attributes is very very tough.
3). Cleanliness - everything seemed very clean and well maintained.
So again, as long as you know what you are getting, this is a great base for a Chicago stay. It is not a modern apartment, it’s old, ground level and the furnishings are very basic. It kind of has an industrial vibe as there are pipes running below the ceiling. It’s also very close to the elevated train which didn’t bother us but if you are a light sleeper you may want the earplugs Cathy generously provides.
So in summary- an amazing host and great location in and old but clean apartment. As long as you are not expecting something modern, you’ll love it. And having parking is awesome.
