Well... I fell in love with Chicago, the community of Pilsen, and this oddities filled home during my stay. Hands down, simply the best location and home for me. Daniel and Tes are incredible hosts - very courteous, kind, hospitable, and knowledgable of the city hot spots to check out. I felt very safe and comfortable, and also very much at home - great vibe in this home and Pilsen!
While in Chicago I rode my bike for transportation daily - to and from McCormick Place for the conference, throughout the city, and around Pilsen. I felt surprisingly comfortable cycling around this city, rain/snow/cold weather and all! I was able to safely stow away/lock up my bicycle in the basement at night after riding around this beautiful city.
The shops, restaurants, and bars within short walking distance from the home are superb (Daniel and Tes have amazing recommendations - be sure to ask!). Again - I felt very safe visiting Chicago solo, including walking the streets at night (while keeping street smart of course).
Even though my visit was during a colder weekend, I knew I had a nice warm shower waiting for me at the home. I definitely want to come back for a visit during warmer weather, so I can take in more of the recommended spots in Chicago. I can hardly wait to stay in Pilsen again - and to stay at this home! I highly recommend this home for your stay in Chicago - great place to immerse yourself in the culture of the community instead of spending your time as a complete tourist.
Thank you so my for letting me stay at your Airbnb home, Daniel and Tes! I'm looking forward to meeting up with you in the future.
