Vladimir, a considerate and genial host, merits an A+ rating. His apartment is attractively decorated and immaculate throughout. His cat Cara is well-mannered. Guests are greeted upon arrival with printed instructions regarding apartment access and amenities, maps with bus routes & other transportation suggestions, as well as descriptions and locations of recommended nearby restaurants. Guests occupy the entire downstairs of the comfortably modern apartment, with access to washer and dryer, tv with Netflix/Roku, etc. and much storage space. Access to the kitchen upstairs is available as needed and encouraged. We cannot imagine a more pleasant place to stay and feel welcome in Chicago.
