Alex is a GREAT host, especially if you are a first time visitor to Chicago and are looking for a little guidance. The pics definitely matched up with his clean, trendy and tastefully decorated 2nd story apartment. He is located in southwest Logan Square which doesn't offer much within walking distance however there are plenty of unique Chicago bars and restaurants within a mile and a half - an enjoyable (and safe) walk in the spring / summer / fall or a quick 5 min Uber ride in winter. Communication and his directions were clear, concise and detailed. It's a nice neighborhood if you want to be tucked away from the downtown noise (which we did).

I use AirBnB quite a bit around the entire country and Alex BY FAR provided the most information I've ever seen about the surrounding area, the main Chicago attractions and even emergency info. He's taken care to ensure the entry stairs and address are well lit if you are arriving after dark. This is a great option if you're from out of state/country and I just can't recommend it highly enough. Free street parking directly outside - it is permit parking so make sure you put the sticker he leaves for you in your front windshield!

The full bed was comfortable, plenty of blankets, good pillows! The other bedroom has two single beds. This is an old Chicago three flat (garden apartment, 1st and then a 2nd floor apartment)! While the place is absolutely charming with updated kitchen, bath, etc., it's still old and has some creaks and not quite square corners - this is not a negative in my opinion at all! Just wanted to share the reality of our old city in case you need/want something brand new.

Many sincere thanks to our host for providing us with such a great place to rest our heads after ringing in the new year!
