Julie's place was a great home for our short stay in Chicago. The neighborhood is amazing, with a lot of local options for food and things to do. You're about a 15 minute walk from the train into Chicago central, but it's an easy walk and there are bus routes nearby.
The place is a bit bigger than a hotel room, with a brilliantly comfortable bed and a great shower. It's got all the homey touches that make you feel welcome, with an artistic & personal touch throughout.
10 out of 10, would recommend. Do bring your own towels.
