Mau was the perfect host and had a very nice place. He was very considerate and kind. His place was in an ideal location to getting around Boystown and the areas around. The place was pristine and he was a good conversationalist. My stay felt like I was staying with the friend. Definitely recommend staying here if you're looking a nice place to stay and for a host that treats you like a friend.

Clean apartment, nicely furnished, and in a really convenient neighborhood. Felt safe the whole time. Mau was a great host — friendly, relaxed, and easy to communicate with. Would stay here again.

Mau was truly the dream host! This was my first Misterb&b experience and Mau sold it for me. His space is so quant and cozy in the charming Ravenswood area. It was less than 15 minutes to get to the gay strip and about the same to get to the beach. Mau had a great balance of offering company and conversation and letting me kind of unwind and do my own thing. I'd absolutely stay with him again and I recommend anyone looking for cute solo stay to book with him!

Mau was a great host, he did everything to make my stay memorable. The apartment is a 10-15 minute walk from the Brown and Red line, also lots of buses around the area that takes you to downtown and Boystown.
