Let me get the (not so bad, just very minor annoyance out the way) first:
-The floors in this apartment can be quite creeky. Which can be annoying but also good in a way that at least you'll hear an invader.
Otherwise, I loved staying at Vincent and Sofia's place.
-Sofia and Vincent always got to me immediately when I contacted them and were more than helpful.
-Its very conveniently located
-Its a block away from the Paulina train station and a 40 minute (more or less) ride into downtown area.
-A bike ride can get you to many cool neighborhoods/attractions/bars/beach etc in an ample amount of time
-Shopping, cafes, restaurants are all close by (Trader Joes and Paulina Market had everything I needed)
-Very safe and very quiet neighborhood. I went running super early in the morning and came back very late at night once and didn't feel in any danger. It was also dead quiet and tranquil.
-Very clean and very spacious apartment for a single person and a couple. Possibly 4 at the max.
-Equipped with all the utensils you need to cook and eat with. Except a pan! We need that pan in there! Definitely pots though!
One of my favorites BnB stays yet! Can't go wrong and I would without a doubt love to return here for another stay when I return to Chicago. Definitely recommend.
