Karen was a fantastic host. She was very accomodating, had tons of tips and suggestions on places to go and always made herself available. Her condo was spacious with fantastic views of the park and the Chicago skyline. While the condo was not centrally located it was only a 30-45 min bus ride into downtown Chicago. The bus was just across the street. The only thing I'd mention is that if you're not an early riser bring a sleep mask as there are no curtains on the windows in the bedroom.
