We had a very comfortable stay at Irv & Shelly's place. I was visiting Chicago with my wife, elderly parents, and two-year-old, and their place proved to be home away from home. The house is quite close to downtown and is serviced by public transportation. We had our own vehicle, and it would take us less than 10 minutes to get to downtown, which was very convenient. There was plenty of parking available for our minivan within short walking distance on cross street.
Irv & Shelly have furnished their house thoughtfully to be very comfortable, be it basic essentials in the refrigerator, utensils, linens, or Turkish bath towels. Shelly texted she was available for any questions or help, and offered to bring toys over for our son.
Next time we are in Chiacgo, Irv & Shelly's place would undoubtedly be our first choice to stay.
