Very nice stay. We came for my mother’s 64th birthday. We enjoyed a very nice dinner in. There was plenty of space for us to eat together (total 5).
Negative: there is a camera in the kitchen. First time experiencing this when visiting an Airbnb, so to me it’s a bit strange. It did say that it only turns on when the alarm goes off but whenever we walked in the kitchen a red light came on. It’s probably motion censored. I’ll admit I booked this spot a few weeks in advance but didn’t check the reviews which isn’t new for me. Had I know I probably would t have booked. Also, potential negative is that the train is nearby. That didn’t bother me but my mom had a hard time sleeping. Another side note, we couldn’t get the roku to work but honestly didn’t try very hard nor bother the host because we were there for such a short visit. We just used an hdmi cord and plugged our laptop in. You’re on the 3rd floor. Again, not an issue for our family but good to know for others.
Positive: Very spacious property with a very large kitchen! Plenty of room for my family to talk and catch up without feeling like we’re on top of each other. Has a Keurig (big plus for me). Bedrooms were clean and the beds were SUPER comfortable. There’s a balcony that was nice to stand out on and get some fresh air. 2 full bathrooms, important for people in their mid 60s lol. Parking was not an issue at all. Very close to night life. We felt safe in the neighborhood. Our first night we came home very late/early am and did not have any problems or concerns. Short drive to the union station and MDW.
Overall, nice stay. Enjoyed ourselves. I think people would enjoy this location.
