David and his local host were quick to respond to any questions that came up during the stay. The check in process was very easy and painless. This was my first Airbnb experience and it did nothing to make me not want to do it again. All the appliances worked and the kitchen was useful for the task of making breakfast that we used it for.
It is a ground floor or basement unit so there isn’t a ton of natural light. If you’re planning on staying in your apartment all day you might not like that but this is Chicago so you’re probably planning on doing stuff most of the time.
It was always super easy to catch an Uber from this location I think we waited 3 minutes max. If you are planning on riding the lakefront trail be cautioned that this is not super accessible to that in our experience. It seems to be about five miles away but that seemed like an eternity down Irving park drive.
All in all it is a very suitable spot for your Chicago stay without having to deal with the price tag and the chaos of staying in the middle of the city. There are also some great places to eat locally like Old Irving Brewing Company.
