We enjoyed visiting Chicago with this spacious apartment as our home base. The kids were a bit perturbed by its location over a funeral home - that's the sign you see at the address - but it seemed to be closed, or at least not in use! Apartment is huge and gleaming, wood flooring and lots of windows, comfy beds and two bathrooms handled the six of us with few squabbles.
The neighborhood is a strange mix of light industrial, used car lots, and tired-looking houses on the side streets. Which are all one-way, full of residents' cars, making it a little tricky to park at night. Once we got the hang of the locale, getting to and from the city center was not a problem. Dark Matter coffee just two blocks away has great pastries for breakfast. We spent the rest of our waking hours downtown so didn't have time to try out any Ukrainian food in this ethnic neighborhood, but going further on Western will bring you to a cool section of shops and restaurants. Next time!
Thanks, Paul (actual host and contact) for providing a great stay for our family in the Windy City.
