Alex is a wonderful host, he makes you feel welcomed and safe! He communicates with you early and often and always very friendly. The apartment is shared with other Airbnb travelers which means the host is present at check in and check out and always a text message away. No self check in, host provides in person check in with scheduled time. Apartment is on the second floor equipped with essentials for short and long term stays. Limited food options nearby. Conveniently located next to the L but is about 10-15 min walk to G and J, M line. Clean, spacious, and comfortable space!
