I can only echo previous reviews - Al and Jude are very friendly, warm and accomodating hosts, communication was excellent, the space is comfortable and has everything one needs for a shorter stay. I didn't have a car, neighborhood feels safe and is walkable (even though in March not many Chicagoans will opt for the walking option ;)), grocery story is a 10min walk, blue line L train 20 min, cafés and restaurants are a bit further.
