Hikaru's place is an awesome choice for any trip to Chicago! We drove out from the east coast to visit old friends here, and were very comfortable and happy at Hikaru's adorable ground floor one bedroom in the Edgewater neighborhood. Everything is updated and feels brand new, and the place was super clean! There is one window a/c unit for the whole apartment, but because it is located at ground level and is well shaded it was a comfortable temperature all the time. We easily cooked breakfast in the kitchen, were able to work remotely using the small closet/office set up, and found everything we needed within walking distance. There is a parking spot behind the building which was very very helpful. The shower was excellent, and though we didn't use them there were coin-operated laundry machines just outside the back door. We would for sure stay with Hikaru again!
