Fabio’s apartment was great for our stay! He lives about 10 minutes walking to the blue line station which is the main line in Chicago public transportation. It’s decorated in a unique way and I enjoyed seeing all the different paintings and artwork around his place. He’s extremely hospitable and offered us homemade pie as well as the different wines he had in his home. He also gave us full use of his kitchen which was perfect when we were heating up leftover pizza from the night before or if we needed to grab a drink of water.
The apartment itself is located on the third floor and if you have bulky luggage, it’ll be a challenge going up the stairs. The stairs themselves are a bit steep and going down requires more attention than usual if you don’t want to almost accidentally fall.
If you’re planning to be in the town for business and need fast WiFi to get things done, I unfortunately don’t recommend Fabio’s place because the WiFi was slow & I wasn’t able to do much work due to the poor connection. The walls of the apartment are thin as well so we were able to hear someone yelling in the apartment during our stay.
The room has a comfortable queen sized bed but the pillows are a bit flat. The closet has clothes inside of it so it unfortunately can’t be used to hang coats, etc. There are 4 outlets in the room so if you have plenty of electronics, plan accordingly!
Overall, we had a good stay & Fabio himself is a great host and is extremely responsive. He also allowed us to keep our luggage in our home after we checked out because we had a late flight and we didn’t want to bring our luggage while we were exploring the city. It was extremely convenient and it added onto our good experience with Fabio and his place.
