This review is written in 2 parts. The first part is the positives. I always got a quick response when a question was asked of the host. Location was great for the reason why we were in Chicago. Under 4 miles to my daughter’s house it was a quick ride to visit .
This is when things disappointed me. If it was only my wife and my self (we do Airbnb quite often to get away). The negatives would probably not even stand out.
The place was advertised as 3 bedroom (4 people staying at the house). You would think if you offer 3 bedrooms the kitchen would have more than 1 large plate and more than 1 spoon . The kitchen had just about everything you would need to stay 6 days except plate ware and silverware. We ended up buying 2 spoons so we could all enjoy our late night ice cream.
The front room/dining, kitchen areas and the 2 main bedrooms were spotless. No complaints about those rooms (real squeaky floors but I explained it to my kids it is expected in some older homes )
Now this is where this place lost me. The 3rd bedroom must of been a porch at one time. While the house had central air the back room had no circulation. I went to plug in my phone charger and the plug kept spitting it out. Definitely something wrong (potentially be dangerous). As I went looking for a plug I looked behind the bed it was just gross. It looked as it has not be vacuumed for quit some time, the rugs also felt Uncleaned. After the first night I slept on the couch. As I continued to look for an outlet the 2 kitchen plugs kept popping their circuit breaker (another potential danger, they pop when there is a problem. I know the host was aware of this since it was mentioned in a previous review. If we only used the 2 bedrooms and not needed the plugs in the kitchen (had to pull out the stove to find a spot to plug in the coffee maker). It would be OK. So if it is just a place needed overnight and not need 3 bedrooms this place will work for you
