Great loft and great, attentive host! Perfect base of operation for a long Chicago weekend!
The location of Stephan's apartment was perfect for me. Close to everything, great public transportation, easy to get downtown. On the southern edge of Wicker Park so we were able to walk to the bars and concert venues on Milwaukee Avenue. If you're unfamiliar with Chicago this is definitely the neighborhood you want to be in. The building is on a quiet street but only one block away from the Division corridor which is lively AF. Definitely never bored. A great neighborhood and a great base for exploring other neighborhoods as well.
About the apartment. The loft is spacious, stylish, and open, with a private bedroom. Really high ceilings, guessing 14 feet. A lot of space and a giant television. Nice couch. The bed was very comfortable. Made use of the guess stove and all the cooking implements as well.
The downstairs lounge is cozy but with low ceiling. Like 6.5 feet. If you were really tall I don't know how comfortable you would be walking around down there. But having a separate upstairs/downstairs was very chill.
Appreciated that there were two bathrooms, because when that matters, it matters. And the main bathroom upstairs with this awesome/weird Japanese toilet with heated seat, bidet, and butt dryer. I think I have to get one of those.
Stephan was easy to get hold of and quick to respond to our questions. The apartment was easy to find and the door lock was easy to operate. Had a great stay!
