This was a great base for 10 days in Chicago (part work, part vacation). Lynn was an excellent host - we really appreciated her very rapid responses to communication and allowing us a slightly late check-out time.

The location of the apartment is great - just half a block to the Brown line El, and very quick to get downtown. We really liked the Old Town and Lincoln Park neighborhoods, with a wide choice of good restaurants, the Second City comedy club, and the excellent Chicago History museum all within a few minutes walk. We particularly liked Twin Anchors restaurant just across the street (perfect for watching the Cubs make it to the World Series!) and the Italian restaurant Balena in Lincoln Park.

The apartment was warm & cozy, which we really appreciated as the weather grew rapidly colder during our stay. The amenities were all great - fast and reliable wifi, a clean & modern bathroom and kitchen - and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in!

The only slight downside for me was that the apartment has relatively little natural light (it is long & narrow, and the dining and bedroom sections are really very dark - there are windows but they do not have much light coming in). But this is quite a minor point and may not bother other people.
