Mary was a wonderful host! The apartment was spotless and very comfortable. The unit is directly below the owners (so it has a garden-level entrance), and it stays nice and cool. If you're driving, she works with you to provide parking passes for the nearby street. You can see the Chicago Skyline from the street. It's a beautiful area, and within walking distance of the train that takes you straight downtown! We couldn't have been happier to stay here!
