Prior to arriving to Chicago, the owner Horatio was excellent about answering all of my questions immediately.
My family and I traveled to Chicago for a week to attend DePaul University's graduation. I've had stayed at 2 different Airbnb properties in Europe and had GREAT experiences; therefore, I was excited for my family to also experience an Airbnb.
The owner Horatio greeted us at the curbside, when we were dropped off by the Lift driver. Both Horatio and his brother were gracious enough to carry our luggage's in the home and Horatio provided us a tour of his home. The property is lovely, and Horatio had beautiful pictures of historic sites in San Francisco on the walls to make us feel at home. After the tour, Horatio explained to us that he has one rule, "if it's not right, let me make it right". Then, he graciously offered to take us to a grocery store since we didn't have car. When we went to the grocery store, we noticed that the store had limited organic foods choices. Horatio did not hesitate to ask us where we wanted to shop for groceries, and graciously agreed to drive 10-15 miles to a Whole Foods store in Oak Park (while he waited 30 mins as we shopped). When we returned to the car he reiterated his one rule, " If it's not right let me make it right".
While we were driving back to Horatio's home from the store, we asked if there was a blender or Vita-Mix machine available in the home so that we could make daily fruit/vegetable smoothies. Horatio then called his brother and instructed him to place the vita-mix machine in our home. Horatio continued to cater to ALL our needs to make this trip a beautiful experience for my family.
Even my mother who was skeptical of the idea of staying in an Airbnb was so impressed with Horatio's hospitality; along with the comforts of the home, that she cancelled her hotel reservations and decided to stay in the property for a full week. The home has top of the line amenities in the kitchen, bedrooms, family room, and bathroom (which was stocked with various toiletries).
My family and I are so appreciative for Horatio's superb hospitality and beautiful home. Horatio's home is so comfortable that it feels like we stayed in our home away from home. We loved the property so much, that we're encouraging our family and friends who are planning to come to Chicago to book this property. We would highly recommend Horatio's home for your Chicago vacation.
