Karen's apartment was wonderful. I stayed with my mum, my husband and my 2 year old daughter. We felt almost at home. The apartment is very comfortable and cosy, close to public transportation (20 mn from magnificent Mile and Millenium park), 15 mn walk from Wholefoods. Karen was very available and responsive even though she was traveling in Europe when we stayed in her apartment. I would highly recommend the apartment and the lovely neighborhood.
