I only have good things to say about Rubani. I have stayed in many airbnbs in the past and he is the epitome of a fantastic host. Upon accepting the booking, his messages were respectful and accommodating and I just knew that this would reflect in our airbnb experience - and it definitely did!
My mom and I booked a 2 week stay at Rubani's lovely airbnb and found it ✨ spotless ✨ spacious and comfortable. Some of the features that we appreciated were the washer and dryer, instant hot water for showers, and very comfortable beds. I had to work from here for most of the time and had everything I needed for it, such as a spacious table (I used the dining table, but there's a writing desk in one of the bedrooms), a comfortable chair, and a great wi-fi connection. The high ceiling makes the home feel airy and the living room windows bring in lots of sunshine. Street parking is ample and I was able to see my car from these windows from quite a distance away too, which is always appreciated whenever you are in an unfamiliar neighborhood. The neighborhood was calm and quiet, similarly to the neighbors in this building.
We loved the beautiful kitchen and made great use of the fridge and microwave. We often had take out delivered and it was easy for drivers to find this address. This airbnb's video door bell system was much appreciated as female guests. For those curious, we ordered from MingHin, Zoku, Urban Belly, Duck Duck Goat, and Do-Rite Donuts! While the location of this airbnb doesn't have the best walkability to nearby restaurants and such, I thought it was a great option for someone that has a car or wants a well-considered experience at home.
Rubani also provided an incredible guide for guests to make best use of their Chicago experience. In true Chicagoan fashion, he listed many places and neighborhoods that guests can go to for food, drinks, and groceries galore, and provided thoughtful directions to access them via public transit. Given how respectable and communicative Rubani is, how well he cares for this airbnb, and his priority for a great guest experience, my mom and I would definitely stay at this airbnb again if an opportunity arises, especially during warmer weather so we can sit outside and enjoy the deck. Thank you so much Rubani!
