Honest review: firstly the pictures do not give the place justice. The space set up is amazing! Very homey and very loving. It gave a very good “grandma’s house” vibe and I felt safe, comfortable, and that my privacy was protected.
Carmen are John are a wonderful couple! They made sure everything I needed was already prepared. Everything from the temperature of the Airbnb to a first-aid kit. Upon arrival they greeted me with a strong sense of warmth and love. When they showed the space they explained everything I needed to know. How to get in and out of the building, what to do if a problem arose with getting in and out of the building, where all the safety tools are (first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, back door) and they even provided all of the miscellaneous items one may need if forgotten(lotions, towels, soaps, lighters, etc)
The home was very colorful and the first thing I noticed was the amazing smell and neat organization! There were maps and instructions on events, places, and things to do in the city, and they even bought a few snacks for me!
The location was in a safe neighborhood and was very close to a lot of great things/sites in Chicago.
There were only a few things to my concern: 1-before arrival I did not have much contact with Carmen and John and their response time was greatly delayed, HOWEVER when I simply addressed that to them they were quick to fix the issue and upheld timely responses when communication was needed AND they made sure they were available at appropriate times to respond efficiently and effectively.
2- the second concern did not have much to do with me but it may to those who look into this airbnb……Parking. As expected it is difficult to find parking (It’s Chicago). I did not bring my vehicle to drive, but I can say in majority of my stay parking was not relatively available so If you do plan to drive please account for this
Outside of those two things I can confidently say that this stay was absolutely wonderful. Carmen and John were very wonderful host and even better people. It was a pleasure to stay.
