Beautiful płace, and coming from someone who is in the design world, that carries some weight. A few notes that I’m not sure if they were on the listing or not that may be helpful to know.
1) there is no central ac. There is a window unit and plenty of ceiling fans to keep the place comfortable even on those few random overly hot summer heat wave days
2) the unit is on the third floor and Chicago has steep stairs.
3) only use the iron or high energy appliance (hair dryer, curled, flat iron) in the kitchen area or bathroom. If you do not use one of the GFCI receptacles you will trip a breaker and will need to go to the basement to reset. Then you will remember my 2nd note for sure!
Now I used to live in Chicago so I know firsthand that this is the norm, but some may find this information useful.
As for the host, when we had a question, he instantly responded. It was a wonderful place and it made us feel at home. Would be happy to rent again in a heartbeat!
