Slavyana's home was just about perfect. The pictures do a wonderful job of setting expectations, but it is somehow even nicer in person. The overall design and decor is wonderful, and the unit has everything you would need for an extended stay. The TV also has a Fire TV stick which was a nice touch for enjoying quiet nights in.
Having never visited Chicago, I was really impressed with the neighborhood . Old Town is in an ideal location just north of the city, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops nearby. I felt very safe in every part of Chicago I visited, but especially Old Town. My only complaint is parking - the main street is all metered parking, with surrounding streets all requiring residential permits. This is more a Chicago issue than a host issue, but just want future guests to be aware it is a challenge to find parking.
