Ordinarily I stay in a hotel whenever I visit Chicago (my daughter attends college in Chi). This visit I planned a mother/daughter weekend with her roomies and their moms. Mark's place was perfect! Just enough rooms and comfortable spaces to host our fun weekend. The apartment is super convenient to bus and L, but if you're driving, it was an added bonus to have a secure place to park a car. Great value for significantly less than 3 hotel rooms in the city!
Laundry in the apartment was an added perk as well.
Check-in, check-out, and communicating with the owners was excellent. I would recommend Mark's place to families or small groups who want to hang out in Chicago!
