Our stay with Ruben was outstanding in every way - the was the first time my wife and I used AirBnB to book accommodations, and the bar has been set very high, indeed. Ruben was extremely helpful and responsive to all my questions before we got there, and even helped us with several good suggestions about places to eat in the area and how to best get around. Since our stay was during the work week, we only saw Ruben at check-in (prompt and easy!), but his family could not have made us feel more welcome - his Dad, especially, made us feel like part of their family :). The space itself was in pristine condition, squeaky clean, and even had a nice common area in which to relax and rest our weary feet. Ruben had a small refrigerator in our room that had water and other beverages in it for our use, very nice. Extra pillows and blankets were available in the closet, lovely, as we like an extra pillow :). The location is excellent, with easy access to the CTA (Polk and Racine 'L' stops each less than a 10-minute walk, number 12 bus 2 blocks away), and just steps from many wonderful places to eat and/or have a drink. We felt safe and secure the entire stay, and really enjoyed discovering this area of Chicago. Ruben, we can't thank you and your family enough for such a wonderful stay and really hope to stay with you again in the future!!
