We had a wonderful stay at Mando's place! Bev is easy to communicate with. Her detailed info and instructions before arrival made our check-in quick and easy. The apartment is clean, bright, and beautifully decoratd.
We met Bev and her husband Chris during our stay. They're warm, friendly, and so thoughtful. They made recommendations for places to eat and see, also went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable here. There is a snack basket with chips, protein bars and chocolate, also in the refrigerator milk, egg, butter, blueberry jam, filtered water, a variety of coffee. Dish soap, sponge, sanitizer etc are also available, and pots/pans/utensils/plates/cups and kitchen tools. There are many seasonings and cooking necessities in the pantry. All these helped making the apartment feels like home. The outside city noises don't get in much, inside of the apartment feels quite and calm. The bedding and pillows are very comfortable, we slept well from the first night. It's also so nice that we're able to park our car in their gated backyard.
The location of the apartment is perfect for us and our teen boys to explore downtown Chicago. A few mins walk towards east leads us to the beautiful Chicago River Walk. It's about 10-15 mins walk to all the amazing restaurants and cafes at the Fulton Market District. Navy Pier and Millennium Park is about 25-30 mins walk via the Chicago River Walk. There is a grocery store about 2 blocks from the apartment.
Strongly recommend this place! We'll stay here again when we visit Chicago.
