Nice apartment, basic but equipped with everything you’d need for a short stay. I enjoyed my stay, thank you. In-unit laundry as well.
The location is about 20 minutes walk to downtown or easy on the train. Lots of Divvy bikes around. Also 10 minutes walk to West loop and Wicker park with great bars and food.
From an apartment point of view I’d definitely recommend it.
The Booking process was a bit challenging. The Apartments are hosted by a company not a person, and, after I had already paid and confirmed on the Airbnb app, I was asked to register on an external website/communicate outside of the Airbnb app.
They asked me to provide a photo of me holding up my ID with all details visible. The whole process was something I was quite nervous about from a security and privacy point of view and so I pushed back on this. I don’t think there was bad intent, but it’s not something I would want to sign up for again.
