Aaron was an excellent host who was very prompt in his responses to our questions. He ensured that the check in process was smooth and also checked in with us in the middle of the trip to see if everything was okay.
As for the listing itself, the location is ideal for getting around to downtown Chicago, with a train station that’s an 8 minute walk away. There’s plenty of places to eat and drink nearby as well. The neighborhood seemed pretty safe to walk around, even at night.
The room was small and comfortable with space for luggage and a bed that was big enough for two people to sleep on comfortably. Aaron was kind enough to provide an extra blanket as well.
Apart from that, there is a sort of divider in the living room behind which someone else is living. That wasn’t mentioned in the listing, but just a heads up for anyone else who might consider staying here. My only issue with the place was that the bathroom seemed slightly unclean and the tub had some stains on it. Otherwise, it’s all fine.
