I highly recommend Thanh's flat in Logan Square. The apartment was immaculate and we did not want for anything. I really enjoyed the artwork especially the paper lanterns! Thanh accepted our rental request within minutes, and repeatedly encouraged us to contact him with any concerns. I asked him a couple of questions about Chicago transportation before our arrival which he answered quickly. In fact, I texted him a question one afternoon during our stay, and he and his wife appeared to check on everything within hours even though we were not having any problems! We were on the first floor of a two level building; we barely heard a peep from the upstairs tenants, and when we did see them, they were very friendly. There is a shared laundry area in the basement that we took advantage of; there were no problems sharing use with the other tenants. The neighborhood is very quiet and seems quite safe including at night. There are quite a few shops at the end of the block, including a large Mexican grocery with a little cafe inside. The store sold fresh hot corn tortillas every morning! We were half a block from the bus stop we used for everything but going to the airport. The public transportation was easy to understand and use. We got a 7-day unlimited CTA bus/train pass so were able to access most of Chicago for $28 (for the week) and no parking hassle! One word of warning - don't take the green line west of Logan Square - the neighborhood where is stops around Lake and Pulaski is pretty rough. But according to Thanh, if you need to go further west to the Oak Park area or beyond, then taking the green line is fine. Our favorite places - Kingston Mills (blues until 4am every day!), Lou Malnati's pizza, the haunted Chicago Segway tour, the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicagoland Dice Dojo, Chinatown.
