We enjoyed our stay at Marlon and Jeff's place very much. The apartment is beautifully designed with modern, high-end finishes and great attention to detail. It actually looks even nicer in person than in the photos. Since the photos were taken, they have hung attractive artwork on the walls, added night stands, lamps, and other small touches that make the apartment more homey and comfortable. And tons of perennials were in bloom in the garden during our July stay; it was gorgeous. The apartment was also clean and extremely tidy. The queen-size bed was very plush and comfortable. Our grown son slept on the sofa-bed and said that it was quite comfortable also. As other reviewers have said, the spa-like shower was amazing, and my husband and I liked having two sinks in the bathroom. There are a few low beams that quite tall people (6 ft, 2 inches and taller) would need to be careful not to bump their heads on, but my husband and son are both 6 ft, 1 inch tall and the beams just brushed against their hair. The kitchenette had an automatic drip coffee-maker, a microwave/convection oven, a mini-frig, dishes, glasses, and cutlery. The cupboards also contained coffee, tea, instant oatmeal, microwave popcorn, and a few granola bars. So it was possible to make very simple meals at the apartment. There was tons of storage: closets, cupboards, and drawers. The Wifi and internet were good, as was the cable TV with streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) and the Nuvo Bluetooth sound system (though we never tried that out). The location is quite good as well--in a very pleasant tree-lined neighborhood with plenty of free parking on the street. There are good restaurants, grocery stores, etc nearby. Andersonville is just a 10-minute drive away, as are Lake Michigan beaches. There is also public transport for getting into downtown Chicago, etc. Finally, Jeff and Marlon were great hosts--very friendly, helpful, and communicative. We would definitely stay with them again on similar trips to Chicago in the future.
