Mary and Costa are wonderful hosts. This apartment is much larger than it appears in the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised how much space there is. It is clean and beautifully decorated. Mary and Costa were very helpful and accommodating of us and this is definitely our top pick for places to stay in chicago, going forward. The neighborhood is quiet and upscale, and a safe place, which is important to me since I have kids. I could not recommend this place more highly.
