If you look through all the reviews on Nicky/Eric and the Farm, you'll see a lot of what I'm about to say here:

They were FANTASTIC. Extremely gracious and friendly hosts, offering us whatever we needed the entire stay. My girlfriend even forgot a hairbrush and Nicky brought one to us in literally 2 minutes. The apartment is beautifully furnished (the bathroom is INCREDIBLE), the Farm is oh-so-quaint (I've never had a farm-fresh egg in my life 'til this trip), and it truly felt like a home away from home.

It's a 5 minute walk from the Green Line CTA station, and while yes, it is an inner-city neighborhood, those familiar with Chicago knows this can mean almost nothing. Not once did we feel even remotely unsafe, even walking back past midnight on the weekend. In fact, more than once when we passed somebody, we got more of a friendly hello here than anywhere else in Chicago.

There's not enough that can be said about how amazing these guys are as hosts and how nice and accessible this property is - with just the right amount of quirk making it a memorable experience. Why would you stay anywhere else?
