Location: Amazingly situated! The train is close by, as are several great little cafes and bars. There’s a walkable small Target and Starbucks in the area too. The neighborhood itself is very cute and safe. We had breakfast a few times at the Pancake House down the street and it was a nice short little morning walk to delicious food.
House: I can’t say enough good things about this house. It is private, cozy, the absolute perfect place for two, and has every amenity you can imagine (and everything tucked away creatively to create space) as well as being very clean and modern. The only thing that may bother people staying there is that the train passing can be loud for you if you’re a light sleeper, and while no one lives under you that IS a shared laundry space so you might hear someone doing their washing every now and then. Neither are deal breakers imo. There’s specific guidelines to follow while using the space, but they’re clearly placed and not hard to follow.
Host: Wendi was very communicative and answered questions promptly, as few questions as we had. She respects your privacy but it available if you need anything, and is a great and welcoming host.
I am keeping this spot as my first choice whenever I come back to the Windy City!
