100% the right choice and will be returning!
Check-In:
Standard, easy to follow directions given to self check-in. Also it was a very safe neighborhood so even though we got there late, wasn't an issue in the dark.
Location:
I was with the elderly for a family trip, so this might've not been the best for them (due to stairs and street excitement) but I'm soooo ready to re-rent this airbnb for a later trip with my friends because it really is right in the center of Old Town which has def been revived since the COVID shut downs. There were so many great pubs to watch the football games, a lot of young adult demos, and very cute eclectic little shops. Thank God for very convenient Starbucks (& pharmacies for any household needs!). Also very walkable to the train (though we had a car, easy to park), and right next to Lincoln Park Zoo!!
Amenities:
This was a brand new listing I believe (?) so there weren't a lot of usual amenities you randomly find in airbnbs that are older and have collected more things but the basics listed in the description were all there! The best thing was honestly the all-in-one washing machine. I was traveling even before I got to Chicago so I was happy to find a new and easy to use washing machine. The towels and sheets prepared for us were all very clean!
Overall 10/10 would recommend! I never saw the hosts, but I had so many random q's I had to hit them up for and they responded within the hour (sometimes even minutes). Super helpful and great to speak with. So glad I chose this spot even though they haven't had many reviews up yet. The new-ness was also a plus though because my elderly family was very worried since COVID to live in a space many people have passed through so the brand new fridge and kitchen glassware gave them comfort.
