Masha is welcoming, polite, and friendly. She is also so very accommodating, generous, and helpful! She booked us on very short notice, was there waiting for us (on a Friday evening) even though we were running a bit later than scheduled, and then stuck around when she saw we really needed her help. My daughter is relocating to Chicago so we were in town looking for apartments and, quite frankly, feeling quite overwhelmed. Upon our arrival, Masha spent nearly an hour with us reviewing different areas in great detail. She had even gotten us a map which she marked with many useful tips/facts before we arrived.

Masha’s place is very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The apartment is as advertised…exactly as seen in the photos. We absolutely loved all the windows and the wonderful breeze that came through the apartment…so comfortable! It is well equipped with clean linens, blankets and towels. There was also a good selection of coffee and tea as well as a basket of bagels/spreads, jams, etc. for breakfast. But what I loved the most was the fresh watermelon Masha had ready and waiting for us. Fantastic!

The location of the apartment is great – just a 15 min walk to the Redline. Parking was also super easy…got a spot almost directly in front! During our stay we ordered in from Hello Sushi Bar & Thai Cuisine. AMAZING! Highly recommend 113. egg rolls, 117. Tempura, and 401. Pad Thai. I will crave their offerings from afar!

We had an absolutely perfect experience with both the apartment and Masha and will definitely contact her when we return to Chicago. I can also confidently recommend her to my family and friends for their future travels! Thank you Masha for making us feel so at home at your place. You are wonderful!
