Everything about our experience with Kaushal and Lisa was delightful, including some friendly banter over email about the Pirates and Cubs before we even got to Chicago. (of course, Kaushal had the upper hand there and could be gracious!) Kaushal is incredibly responsive, answered all of my questions immediately, and made me feel welcome instantly. The apartment is as described--comfortable and clean, roomy and easy access. If you plan on eating in, the kitchen lacks nothing. There were some cold drinks available in the fridge for us. *Tip--the pull out couch must be pulled away from the wall, the back pulled forward, and, when the click is heard it can be set down. My only regret is that we were there such a short time, two of us didn't feel well most of Saturday, and therefore, we were unable to have any social time with Kaushal and his family. We promised next time we'd plan ahead. We met them by chance outside of the house two times and know that we will enjoy their company when we return. There is a notebook with tips on where to go in Chicago, but I felt comfortable asking Kaushal anything if it wasn't in his guide. Kaushal leaves a code for Uber which I highly recommend if you've never driven in Chicago. It took the stress out of our stay. I can't recommend this apartment and this host highly enough. They made us feel like guests in their home. Clean bathroom and kitchen--which is crucial. And, it was nice to have some Keurig coffee cups waiting for us! If you're going to Chicago and are fine being north of the city, this is the place to stay for so many reason. Enjoy!!
