Both the place and Hal were great. He took the time to come and chat with me for awhile - and he was a great to talk to. He also made sure I had everything I needed (including a bike to get around the area on).

And the place itself is one of the most unique AirBnB spaces I've ever been in. And I don't mean "unique" like a real estate agent trying to sell a broken down house but unique as in different and cool.

It is definitely tiny but comfortable, lots of fresh air when the windows are open, a great spot to sit outside and work (the wifi easily reaches the lawn chairs), and nice and quiet at night. Lastly, it's only about a 3 minute walk to the heart of Fremont which is a great neighborhood.

Will definitely be trying to stay here again the next time I'm in Chicago.
