Everything was as expected! We had no issues. It was a little cold in the apartment when we checked in (and the wind chill was below zero) but we cranked the heat immediately. After a while the place warmed up! The neighborhood is good and it was central to the different things we were doing in Chicago (near Lincoln Park and Concord Music Hall).
It’s an older home so you can hear the people and their dog moving around upstairs. It was clean and nicely decorated. Never had any issues contacting the host. Parking was available on streets all around the unit. There were board games to play, a Roku with streaming services, and good WiFi. They left snacks and drinks for us! They had some local recommendations for us to.
