Christina's place was awesome! So unique! And, there's a bonus - the walk up to her place gives you a quick exercise session! All kidding aside, Christina's place was great, and we really enjoyed it. The accommodations are amazing, it's very cozy, and the building is in a great neighborhood (right next to Hamlin Park - as well as the 606, and close to the heart of WPB and all of its cool nightlife).
Christina herself is a great hostess. She was very prompt in her responses and was very accommodating. Her directions for entry could not have been any clearer. We have been doing this AirBnB thing for a while, and she is definitely one of the best.
Probably the only negative aspect of Christina's place is the continuation of a trend we've seen recently in other AirBnBs. Specifically, the fridge was empty. When we first started using AirBnBs, we found that many homeowners left a few necessities in the kitchen (in addition to tea and some spices, perhaps some mustard and hot sauce in the fridge). Sort of a "Pay It Forward" type of situation. We have really come to love this aspect of AirBnB and have done our best to, in fact, pay it forward. However, lately, this has not been the case, and this does seem to take away from the whole AirBnB experience.
Regardless, even with this issue, we do highly recommend Christina's place as a home away from home in Chicago!
