I just stayed at Eric's place over July 4th weekend. I went mainly to visit a friend that lives in the nearby Edgewater neighborhood. This airbnb is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. With two full bedrooms, it would be good for two single adults, two couples, or a small family. There is a full kitchen and bath, complete with the necessities. Some touches I appreciated were keyless entry and white noise machines. There is a Walgreen's just a few minutes walk away. Lincoln Square is a cute Main Street type area with restaurants, cafe, and shops. It is just about a 10 minute walk away. Spent a few afternoons at the beach in nearby Edgewater, it was not too crowded for a holiday weekend. One day we went downtown on the train, it was quicker and easier than expected to get there on the red line. Explored the little Vietnam neighborhood, got Bahn mi to take to the beach, and some great coffee from a place called First Sip. Also explored Andersonville, had a birthday dinner at Big Jones (awesome southern food), birthday cake from Slice of Heaven, and more picnic food from Middle East. I traveled to Chicago once before in winter, stayed downtown, and did fancy stuff. This was a really different summer trip, and nice break from where I live in downtown LA. It's pretty cool to get to swim in a lake, without leaving a city, albeit a cold lake. Highly recommend staying at Eric's place!
