Barbara was a very accommodating host, and tried to make us as comfortable as possible before we even arrived. The apartment was very clean and modern, and had all the basic necessities for our stay. The bathroom was immaculate and recently renovated like the rest of the property.
The neighbourhood is perfect. Literally only a 5 minute walk to the blue line train that takes you to downtown Chicago. There are lots of neighbourhood bars, restaurants and shops. This was so much nicer than staying in a hotel; we felt very much at home.
