Alta Vista Terrace is unique in Chicago! We had passed it when visiting our daughter several years ago so we knew about and were excited to rent an airbnb on it. It is very convenient to Wrigley and downtown.
The kitchen was beautifully redone and we enjoyed cooking for our family. There is a big dining table which seats 8 easily. There is lots of room in this airbnb for everyone to have their own space. Howard has amassed many antiques and vintage items which are quite interesting. It is an eclectic collection from the last two centuries. The bathrooms are super funky so know that when you rent. Also, he usually lives in the unit which we did not understand clearly from the listing. The townhome is definitely a labor of love for the host.
We had several concerns which Howard addressed in a timely manner. However, the front door lock issue mentioned by another recent guest needs to be addressed before renting this unit. It is unstable as of now. At one point in our stay we simply could not get the door to lock. Howard had a locksmith come out and secured the door enough for the week. But a stabilizing pole needs to be placed on the bottom of the 120 year old door to make it fully secure.
Once this is done you can enjoy this unique airbnb.
