Pros:
Great location, next to the train (quick ride to the loop), lots of restaurants and other businesses around, close to the Bloomingdale trail for a nice walk or run.
Pretty spacious apartment for a one bedroom.
Communication with host is excellent, very responsive.
Host works with you if there are any issues, there was a problem with the flush that they quickly fixed and even gave us a discount for it.
Cons:
It’s a wooden house, and hosts live upstairs and they have a child and a dog, so it can be noisy - not that they are noisy people, it’s just that any normal noise is annoying downstairs. But they are always very quiet at night.
Street parking is annoying, you can’t park on the street in front of the house, and the street you can park around the corner has street cleaning schedules and such, you have to keep track of if you have a car parked there.
Some minor design/layout flaws can be annoying if you stay long term, like AC/heat vent on the bathroom floor right next to the toilet, dishwasher in a corner position, towel and toilet paper holders not well fixated to the wall and keep falling, it seems like an improvised apartment that they built themselves instead of hiring professionals.
