We really enjoyed our time at Gemma's flat in Logan Square. This is a great location to easily reach the Loop within 20 minutes either via the Blue Line (only blocks away) or rideshare, and is also really ideal to check out Logan Square's shops, restaurants, and bars, easily within walking distance.
Communication with the host was a pleasure, and they were extremely helpful and responsive from the very start. Upon arrival, the flat was extremely clean, comfortable, and very cute. The kitchen is modern and spacious, and it has a half bath with laundry which is really convenient. There is a lovely enclosed garden off of the kitchen with a grill which we unfortunately didn't have a chance to use but this is a beautiful and relaxing space. You can hear the El here (and you can hear it somewhat in the distance inside the house, too) but I didn't find it bothersome at all. It's part of what makes Chicago what it is.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a full bath with a shower. The bedrooms each have full beds with memory foam mattresses. The rooms are fairly large with closets, lots of windows, and extra blankets were provided. One of the bedrooms did have glass block windows between the shower and the bedroom which isn't too big of a deal (it's not see-through) but at night when anyone goes into the bathroom, light does go into that bedroom, so lighter sleepers may want to choose the other room.
This is a really great flat in a safe area. I can't recommend Gemma's place enough! I've stayed in lots of homes all over the world and this has been one of the cleanest, most comfortable stays with the coolest, most helpful hosts! We hope we get the opportunity to stay here again. Thank you!
