We stayed at Mark's place for 3 nights for our first trip to Chicago and we're so happy we chose it! It was absolutely perfect for what we wanted, just as described and a very pleasant experience.
Mark was extremely communicative and responsive and gave us great local recommendations (check out Lula Cafe).
His place was on a really picturesque street that was nice to come home to out of the hustle and bustle of downtown and only cost around $10 for a Lyft/Uber ride.
Mark's place was exactly like the pictures; very clean, spacious, homely and a very comfortable bed. Check-in was a breeze.
Mark made sure before we booked, and some reviews mention, the tenants upstairs and some floorboard noise when you're home so I was prepared for a bit of noise, but honestly it was very minimal and not disruptive at all. It did make me think twice before booking but now that I've stayed there, we would definitely return if ever in Chicago!
Thanks Mark for the terrific stay, your place certainly added to our wonderful time in Chicago!
