We were a group of 4 traveling to Chicago to run the marathon. Dean's place met our needs perfectly. Dean's check-in/access communication was thorough and spot on, making access very easy. We appreciated the keyless entry as we didn't have to stress about transferring a key between ourselves. The stairs were not an issue for us - we got some good laughs at watching each other navigate them the day after the marathon :) With bus and train stops right out the front door, the location was a great jump-off point for exploring the city. If you don't mind some exercise, there is a TON to do within a 10-20 minute walk too. The apartment was very clean and Dean was extremely responsive to the few questions we had during our stay. Our favorite thing was the large living room. There was enough seating for all 4 of us to lounge at the same time.
