My wife and kids (3 and 8) wanted to explore Lincoln Park and downtown for a few days before visiting my brother on the North Shore. Steve's place is on a great street and a short walk to Lincoln Park Zoo, Conservatory, the subway to downtown (20 minutes in rush hour), is safe and friendly. He provided a map with some food recommendations upon arrival, the Chicago style deep dish pizza was bang on - loved it! Street parking is right out front, safe and easy.
Other reviews touched on the staircase which was really not a difficult climb and the lack of a separate door. The unit is on the 3rd floor and although there is no door, there is a spiral staircase and it is sufficiently private. The deck outside is probably bigger than the entire 3rd floor and it has nice view, flowers and a clean grill. We were out exploring all day but the time spent with Steve was nice - he is friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed coffee and muffins on the last day. This was our first airbnb and we really enjoyed it. Thanks Steve!
