Mindy and Tony went above and beyond in providing for our two-night stay! There are so many personal touches throughout the house (homemade soaps stamped with Iklektik House logo, toiletries wrapped in packaging designed by Mindy, incredible mattresses, homemade pillows, fun decor and artwork). The apartment is beautiful, and I felt like I had the creature comforts of home. It's obvious that so much love went into creating the space, and the AirBnB experience for guests.

Three of us stayed here quite comfortably. Other reviews have mentioned the amazing and gigantic bed in the main bedroom, and I agree with them completely. My friend who slept on the trundle bed disagrees, because she says the trundle bed is the most comfortable one she has ever slept on. The house is also exceptionally clean, bright and welcoming in every way. We also enjoyed chatting with Mindy and Tony in the beautiful backyard, and as a bonus we got to meet Cassius the cat in the back yard, and they even let us play with their new kitten. (Though no sign of the cat inside the guest area, so no worries if you have allergies, like I do.)

On top of all this, we were a bit high maintenance and had some special requests, and Mindy and Tony were very helpful and gracious. When I am back in Chicago, I'll most certainly be contacting them again.

I loved that the neighborhood was really quiet and residential ~ which was wonderful after a day of touring the noisy and crowded downtown area. We stuck to the CTA Blue Line and CTA buses most of the time, but when we didn't want to go that route, Taxi cabs are quite reasonable to wherever you want to go (between $8 and $12 for downtown and surrounding areas, and we paid around $30 for our cab ride to the Midway airport). We only had 1 1/2 days here, but next time I would like to explore more of the surrounding neighborhoods, and try the Metra transportation system.

I also want to add that Mindy quickly responded to every bit of communication I sent in advance of our travels. That really helped put my mind at peace about our travel plans. Stay here! We loved it for so many reasons :)
