We had a great recent visit to Chicago and our stay at Mark's place was a part of that. It was in a great location walking distance to good restaurants and central enough to get to other places in the city relatively easily. The unit is a dark, basement unit and did have some issues that you may expect that come with that. It was a bit dark and musty and some of the furnishings and appliances are on the older side. Still, it was a cozy spot that was good for a few nights away from home. Mark was a very good host who communicated with us all along the way and I am sure will be just as accomodating to everyone else who decides to stay with him.
