John's place was very centrally located – a 10 minute walk to Old Town, 15 minute walk to Lincoln Park zoo, and short train/Uber ride to Magnificent Mile. It was a perfect getaway for my husband, his brother, our sister-in-law, and myself. The kitchen and the bathroom were both pretty standard (in a good sense of the word) and the washer and dryer are in the basement, which require key access. The linens were high quality and the condo was super clean! We were uninformed about the no shoes indoor restriction and did not come prepared. This was my first experience in an Airbnb where the owner did not provide a binder of sorts with information about the house (parking, internet, laundry, etc) and surrounding area, which made us very dependent on John for basic questions/needs. Although John was quick to respond to each request. Perfect NYE getaway in Chicago and would totally recommend this gem!
