自我介绍

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am the founder of Ovation Rentals, LLC which specializes in connecting hosts (including myself!) with guests looking for short- and long-term rental units in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. We have something for everyone, from the unexpected visitor just needing a safe, comfortable place to rest her head to a family planning a big reunion on Lake Michigan. I am originally from Chicago, but when to college in UPENN in Philadelphia and also lived in New York before settling back in the Second City. I have been a lover of travel for as long as I remember. I took my first international trip (to Paris!) when I was just 15 years old. I made a deal with my dad that if I could save up the money for the flights by working 2 summer jobs then he would pay for the hotel and meals. I worked my butt off that summer and we spent Christmas in Paris...and I was hooked on world travel! Before Airbnb existed, I did much of my international travel via Home Exchange - where you exchange homes with a host family in another city (NOT the same as "couch surfing" lol). I found that experiencing a new city like a local was infinitely more enjoyable than staying in a stuffy hotel, so when Airbnb came along I was overjoyed to have a new way to "live like a local!" And eventually I evolved from just an Airbnb Traveler to an Airbnb Host. As a host I strive to help my guests experience all the things I love about the cities and towns that I love - the food, culture and natural beauty - in comfortable accommodations that are reasonably priced. I strive to do the same for the other hosts that I represent through Ovation. Our goal is to make every guest feel truly at home!
