The location for this place if very nice. Lincoln Park is a great spot in Chicago, especially if you have kids. The free zoo is a short walk away, as well as the beach (if you happened to visit during a heat wave, as we did)
Our check-in was nothing short of a disaster. The cleaning crew never turned over the apartment which means we arrived with dirty sheets and towels. I contacted the management company (MNE) who responded promptly that they would arrive in 20-30 minutes. 4 hours later I was talking with the cleaning company directly explaining what needed to be done (doing the job of the host) The cleaning company asked me for quarters so they could do the laundry (at this time it was already 8pm, and my 4 and 5 year old needed to go to bed). I ended up walking to target and buying new sheets, which were refunded to me by the host.
The host also gave me back the cleaning feed ($150) which in my opinion was not enough, since I lost my first night in chicago managing their property for them.
Lastly, the pictures in AirBnb do not reflect the state of the apartment. This apartment is very run down, lots of quick patch work, furniture and curtains broken. It's not a nice place as the picture would lead you to believe.
