Bora was an amazing host. Every experience from getting the keys to checking out was smooth and easy.

I chose this apartment for its proximity to downtown, and I was not disappointed. We were one block in either direction from buses and the train, and it was just a few stops on either to get where we wanted to go. I found free street parking on the corner near the entrance to the building and I did not have to move the car once the entire stay. We were right next to restaurant row, and so there was no shortage of great food within walking distance.

We never were able to meet in person, but she was always available by phone, e-mail, or text, and responded promptly.

We were greeted by a lovely gift basket with coffee, snacks, and guidebooks for various attractions around the city. During our stay she would often text and check in to see how we were doing, and offer up recommendations if were going to a site or a restaurant that she was familiar with.

Her apartment was BEAUTIFUL. Amazing hardwood floors, the floor to ceiling windows with views of the city that were incredible. The couch was also great for midday napping.

The next time I'm in Chicago I will definitely be staying at Bora's place again.
