First time using airbnb couldn't be any better. Nate is an amazing host and his place is awesome.
A whole floor just for you with a nice big bed, super clean and organized, clean towels and sheets, neat kitchen with everything you need in case you wanna cook, coffee machine with different flavours available, independent air conditioning control.
If you are looking for privacy, this is your place because not only do you get the whole floor for yourself, but also no one else uses the doors that have access to it, so it's basically you. The only shared part is the kitchen, but in 5 days we haven't seen no one else there.
If you are looking for a nice interaction with the host, this is also your place. Nate is super kind and is always available for good recommendations or a good chat.
Other pros: we only used public transportation which is very good in chicago. This place is really close to the metro station and to buses stops. Very easy to go downtown. Also there is a divvy bike rental station and a delicious cafe just a few steps away from the house. One day we biked around the neighborhood, we went to parks, university of Chicago and to the science museum.
We really appreciate being received so well and we hope to come to Chicago again and stay at Nate's place again.
