Staying at Michelle and Marc's place was superb for us. Michelle made us really welcome, we arrived early and she called up to tell us it was OK to turn early. She came down stairs and waited for us to arrive, to greet us and show us how to get into the building.
The apartment was beautiful and when we looked around Michelle made us very much at home and told us to act as if it was ours for the week!
The bathroom per bedroom in the apartment worked really well for the three of us trying to get out on time in the morning and we all could chill out on the Huge wrap around balcony in the evenings.
Michelle left some of her favourite beer for us, which introduced us to local brews.
The area is ideal for a stay, as you don't need to go very far to enjoy great restaurants and bars. Walking into central Chicago is pretty easy and taking a cab is no problem. There can't be too many places where you can sit in the living room or balcony and see both the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) and the Hancock Tower.
If the weather should turn bad, the apartment had a great selection of games to play (never got to use any!). There is parking should you have your own car.
It felt like your ideal place in Chicago - somewhere you'd imagine wanting to live. A great area and everything you could want was included, large TV, plenty of ice for drinks, masses of towels and copious storage, so there was nothing that was missing.

Michelle was so welcoming and surely would have helped with anything we needed to ask - but we had everything laid on and set up, so we did not need to bother her again!
A great place and hosts and we would be more than happy to be able to return!
