We stayed for 7 weeks for work in Chicago. This was my first airbnb rental and thus it is hard for me to make comparisons. The apartment provides ample storage space for luggage, comfortable living space for 2-3 people. Appliances were all functioning well and the apartment has ample sunshine and balconies, which is rare in Chicago. The only thing is if you have to work there you need to improvise. A small table was provided by the host who is generally very helpful and responsive but I needed to buy a desk chair, table lamp and printer to be fubctional. But overall we liked the place and the amenities provided by the building ( a good gym and swimming pool) and would return.
