8 members of my family, myself included, reserved Lou's place to stay and have a full Thanksgiving celebration away from home (Arizona), and we couldn't have made a better choice! The apartment is extremely spacious-almost unbelievable for Chicago- and is easy to access, with free parking no less! There are 3 beautiful bedrooms, a semi-secluded room (no doors but separate room) with a futon+pull out bed, and a comfortable couch if you are like us and will have more than 6 people. The two of us who had to sleep on the futon were very comfortable because of the cozy extra blankets and sheets in the closets. The kitchen is equipped for normal cooking and baking. Of course, we had to buy or bring quite a bit more kitchen supplies to manage our thanksgiving meal, but we did it! This place is really like being in a home away from home, even for 8 adults! Plenty of room to hang out, talk, dance, play games, etc. Absolutely lovely. Not to mention the wonderful jet bathtub in addition to a shower. Nearby is a CVS, a CTA stop, and Dark Matter coffee shop, all within comfortable walking distance. The beds were very firm, so they were a little uncomfortable for us younger adults who don't need so much spine support. We slept well regardless, but that would be the only tiny complaint. Lou also met us upon arrival and stayed closely in contact with us on our trip, and gave us an extended checkout, with due notice of course. Wonderful host, wonderful accommodation, wonderful stay. If we can manage our schedules next year the same way, we will reserve this place again, no doubt. Thanks so much Lou!
