If you want a genuine host and an extremely comfortable and safe place to stay, stay here. Joe and his wife were super nice and great communicators! They provided me some awesome foodie recommendations during my stay. Joe even washed my clothes after I participated in the Chicago Half Marathon, for a small fee. Joe’s place was the perfect stay for me. I've never had a bad experience with any other Airbnb guest; in fact, the diversity of guests made the experience better than I expected. If you need a place to stay while visiting Chicago, definitely considered him as a potential host.
