To be honest, this was the airbnb that makes me never want to stay in an airbnb again. The whole place just felt like the “landlord special” of airbnbs.
When we arrived, there were used tampons and pads in the bathroom trash. The bedding on one of the beds had stains and smudges all over it and was pilling from wear. We were refunded half of the cleaning fee due to these issues. With how much the cleaning fee was, it just didn’t feel professionally cleaned. There was grime and pink mold in the shower.
Neither my friend or I had good sleep here. My bedroom, next to the kitchen, had sheer curtains. They were almost completely see-through. And there were two windows directly across from mine, so I couldn’t change in the bedroom either. I could see directly through into the windows across even with the curtains closed. It just felt like a complete lack of privacy. The window was also at eye level and I woke up several times to the neighbors next door watering right next to the window, so it was just creepy to think that they could have seen into the room while I was sleeping. Besides a lack of privacy, the curtains just let in way too much light to sleep comfortably.
It also wasn’t mentioned in the listing but there is a unit above this one. I don’t know if the people above us were full-time occupants, but they were really loud. They had a kid that would run around at 7 in the morning and wake us up. But your experience may be different depending on who is upstairs.
The listing says that the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the unit. They’re not - they share a wall and the walls are pretty thin. It wasn’t important to us, but figured it is worth a mention in case someone does want the bedrooms to be separate for privacy issues.
The listing says minutes away from the blue line. It’s a 25 minute walk, which isn’t horrible, but also isn’t convenient. We ended up taking Lyfts back from the blue line a couple times because we didn’t want to walk, but for the most part it was manageable. Walkable to parks and some cool food and coffee. Logan Square was super cool.
The TV does have Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime available to stream so that was nice! We didn’t use the coffee, but there were coffee pods available too.
