This was the very best airbnb experience I've ever had--and I've had lots of good ones. First, the room and bathroom were large and outfitted with high quality, comfortable furnishings. The building is very secure and there's easy elevator access to the 4th floor. The way things are set up in Janet's beautiful apartment, you have your own, very private space, with access to common areas when needed. Everything was sparkling clean and Janet welcomed me warmly with delicious muffins and chocolate chip cookies, which I gratefully scarfed down at the end of a long night. Janet was casual, super friendly and laidback and I never felt a moment's worth of awkwardness or intrusiveness. Her dogs were adorable and sweet as could be.

The apartment was spectacular, but the neighborhood was also excellent and eclectic, very conveniently located just about a block away from the Belmont CTA station, with a Starbucks right on the way.

I could not have been happier staying at Janet's place and I hope to return soon.
