Vladimir was a great host, very responsive and welcoming. His apartment was modern, clean, and comfortable. The location was a bit of a drive from downtown, if you are spending most of your time downtown, it might be a little inconveniently located, but I liked getting out of the tourist and experiencing a little bit more the local Chicago. Vladimir was out of town one of the nights, and was very flexible to accommodate us.

I had two minor "complaints" that may not affect everyone, but I feel like I should mention:

1. While the guest bedroom was very comfortable, the fold out couch was not. If you only need one bed, I highly recommend this place, if you need two, I suggest talking to Vladimir about other bedding options.

2. When Vladimir was out of town, his cat got separation anxiety and was "meowing" all night.
