We really enjoyed our Airbnb stay. The hosts were so responsive and hospitable. They had extra amenities such as coffee and tea were great features to have when we had early morning starts.
Not too sure about the other airport in Chicago since we came in and left from Midway, but the ride was quick and easy.
In terms of the fees for cleaning, I say they were definitely worth it given that the Airbnb was SPOTLESS. It was so clean and super comfortable and the water pressure never failed on us.
The place was also right across the street from a school but we never had any issues with traffic and we also felt safer given that patrols were around more often.
