This condo is a wonderful value. Staying in Chicago is not cheap. This is an option I would certainly consider again.
The Pros:
1) The condo was beautiful and we has everything that we needed. It's a nice cozy brownstone condo by the lake. The areas that we had access to were nicely decorated.
2) Cherilyn and Walter were very friendly and accommodating. They didn't seem to be home much, but answered messages quickly.
3) The pets were respectful and kept to themselves. They were a welcome addition to the trip, since we missed our pets!
4) We were close to the downtown area and the Shedd Aquarium.
5) If you read Cherilyn's instructions closely, the check in process is easy.
The Cons:
1) There are steep steps to climb. If you have issues with steps, this is not the place to stay.
2) The neighborhood was a little bit sketchy, but hey, it's Chicago.
3) The space in the bedroom is limited. It was fine for a short stay, but for a long stay, you may not know where to store all of your stuff.
Overall, we really enjoyed staying there, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. This was our first Airbnb experience!
