I recently spent a month at Allie's Airbnb and it was absolutely wonderful. She went way beyond expectation to make me feel welcome and to create an inviting, cozy, charming and well-stocked place -- more linens that one might ever need; a welcome gift of her homemade pasta sauce, pasta, wine and many other snacks; and she was easily accessible and quick to respond if I had any questions. The location of the apartment is perfect -- directly across the street from Cedar Lake's South Beach which is a small, beautiful, quiet beach, and the lake and neighborhood are beautiful with many great places to walk or bike. It's also a short walk to great coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Very peaceful and safe, even though it's right in the city.
I had asked Allie how easily available the street parking was and she said there was never an issue finding a spot right out front -- she was right, I always found a spot right in front which was easy when loading in groceries, coming in at night, etc. She mentions in the description that the building allows smoking though her unit doesn't -- I wanted to mention this because I expected to be able to smell smoke while in the unit, but I never did which was great. I highly recommend Allie's place, it's wonderful and she's an awesome host!
