We lived in Nathan and Denise´s studio in west pilsen for two nights, me and my family (one child at the age of 2). And Nathan and Denise was really professional and helpful. The communication was often immaculate, and I am sure I have a lot of questions before arrival, and therefore I sometimes felt I had to ask twice, probably because I wasnt told to wait for all the Information until close to arrival, but bringing my family I needed to be more prepared.
Nathan and Denise kindly provided us with a baby crib, which was good help. The bed and other ammenities were also nice experiences, but the studio itself is a little dark and cold. It is described as a garden unit a couple of stairs down from Nathan and Denise, but for me it felt more like a basement unit built below the sidewalks and streets. Though it was cute and Nathan and Denise certainly had made the best out of it.
With a kid it was really good to have easily accesible Netflix, kids television and Wifi. On the other hand, I did not really feel entirely safe in those areas running around with my family, and we didnt want to have a walk in the areas past dark hours. This might be true for entire Chicago, but I would probably next time not go further west than Gordon.
Having said that, booking through airBNB is ofcourse not the same thing as putting yourself in a 5-star accommodation, but my expactations were just a little bit different than the experience.
