Emmanuel is a stellar host! He is accommodating, easy to get in communication with, and helpful. We enjoyed staying at his place. We found it to be cozy, relaxing and just what we needed for our short stay in Chicago! It is also located very close (walking distance) to a great park and trail that lines the lake so we enjoyed heading out for a short walk on afternoon. If you have questions or concerns, just contact Emmanuel and he'll get you a thorough answer quickly!
