This was my first experience with Airbnb. For vacations I have always stayed in hotels and when my son recommended trying Airbnb I was quite reluctant. However, my husband and I decidedl to try it. It was awesome! The apt. was lovelier than depicted online. I was concerned that it would be a "small" studio, but it was perfect for my needs. My husband and I did not feel cramped. It was beautifully and tastefully decorated. I was clean, clean. clean. The kitchen and bath were spotless! Lots of closet space for my weeklong stay. We even enjoyed eating breakfast out on the quaint patio. The washer/dryer was a nice amenity so I didn't have to take dirty clothes home. The location was perfect. Far enough from the main street so there was no noise and close enough to walk to anything I needed, restaurants, bakery, market, train, etc. Our hostess, Melissa couldn't have been more gracious! She was very responsive to my inquiries before arriving to Chicago and all throughout my stay. I can't wait to go back to Chicago to visit my son and hope that this apartment is available!
