I rented this Airbnb for a week-long conference. Four other guests (wife, brothers, friend) stayed with me since it was such a large space with a comparable price to a hotel.
This location is great for walking to and from the Walker Art Center, where my conference was located. It was an easy and safe route, especially around midnight.
Karen emailed me a couple days before my arrival date with some detailed notes, including the access code. We drove up from Chicago and bumped into her as we were pulling into the driveway. She gave a friendly wave when she saw our Illinois plates :)
She happened to be renovating the unit above us so she stopped by to say hi and to let her know if we needed anything. The space itself was pretty self-sufficient. There’s a nice dishwasher, tons of plates, bowls, glasses/cups, utensils, etc. The only thing we found missing was olive oil for cooking and plastic wrap for leftovers. There’s Kowalski’s Market and Cub Foods nearby for groceries, which was excellent.
My brothers did a quick load of laundry in the basement and they said it was pretty simple and straightforward.
It was a little tricky having five people share one shower/toilet but we made it work. It was nice that one of the bedrooms has its own sink/vanity. There were plenty of towels and shampoo/body wash/conditioner.
Each room (except the kitchen) had its own window AC unit, which made the whole apartment very comfortable.
Would definitely stay here again! The retro decor was awwwwwwesome!
