Staying with Oliver was less like being in an airbnb and more like staying with an old friend you've been meaning to catch up with. It of course has all the amenities of a great airbnb - easy check in, great price, great location, great amenities, local guidebooks - but the real magic is Oliver. He imbues the house with such character - every stool, lamp, and piece of art has a story. He is eager to tell you those stories and to learn your own. Even in the two hectic days we stayed with him, after our brief conversations I feel like I have a contact I could call on at any point. In addition, the proceeds of your airbnb stay go to a wonderful foundation run by Oliver that supports local artists and the under-served communities of Chicago. It's a really cool model of philanthropy I'd love to see from more airbnbs. Do yourself a favor - stay with Oliver, enjoy the rich culture of Chicago and give back to it in the process!
