Victor’s Airbnb has got to be the best value in Chicago. I stayed for five nights in room 3 at his Devon Ave property… The room is comfortable with no frills… A bed, a desk, and a wardrobe… With hardwood floors, and beautiful picture windows that look out through a landscaped front yard.
I fortunately had my yoga mat with me, and the space turned out to be a perfect, relaxing place to stay, and I made my stay into a quasi yoga retreat. Very safe neighborhood, with a lush forest preserve across the street.
Parking was always available in front of the property. My room faced a busy street and you can definitely hear traffic, especially when the windows are open.
Keep in mind that while your bedroom is private, you share a kitchen and bathroom with two other single rooms. While this setup is not for everyone, it turned out to be a non-issue for me.
Victor was courteous, responsive, and great to rent from. I highly recommend his Airbnb.
