For my first time in Chicago, Saurin really helped make it a great time. Saurin really is a super host; he’s great with communication, is always open for questions, and had some really great suggestions for eats around the city. Definitely look to stay here if you want to visit Chicago, it’s close to a lot of the “things to do in Chicago” and local spots to eat/drink.
The place was very clean, easy to get to despite being downtown, and was in a great little neighborhood. The room had more than enough space for me and my girlfriend and it was really comfortable coming back to after long days out exploring Chicago. While you’re there, you do share the common areas with other guests but we had no issues.
I drove to Chicago, so a heads up if you’re driving. Parking can be pretty limited near the place. I would end up walking or grabbing an uber to hit some of the farther away distances while leaving my car parked there. You’re also really close to public transport. You definitely can drive, it just may take some time to find a spot.
