Patrice's communication with us was great--both prior to us arriving and after we were settled in. Her instructions were concise, and uncomplicated such that even a doofus like myself had no difficulty in understanding them. The house itself was great. Its a nice neighborhood, the parking was not a problem even when we stayed out late (for us) a couple of nights. The house itself is comfortable and interestingly furnished. It is also well equipped and the outside garden is great. The only difficulty we had was getting the TV to work, but that just made is possible for us to read more and not waste our time on TV. The house air conditioning was particularly appreciated on a really hot humid 4 days. Overall a really positive experience for our first Airbnb stay and when we return to Chicago we will most definitely book with Patrice again.
