I stayed at Kristine's place with my wife and 1-year-old son while we were in town for our friends' wedding. Short version, I can't say enough good things about our stay.
First, the place itself is lovely, and well-located, and access to parking and laundry is a major plus. The apartment is clean, spacious, and private. Everything was comfortable and the kitchen was brilliant, though we didn't have time to do much cooking this trip. Kristine provided us with daily passes to park on the street, which proved to be reasonably easy (though the earlier you do it for evening parking the better). I've spent plenty of time in Chicago and Lakeview is a great area. It was nice to be in the heart of it at an affordable price.
We felt Kristine went above and beyond for our stay. She was understanding about check-in/check-out and our changing circumstances, and went so far as to acquire a high-chair and pack-n-play for our son. She had surgery while we were there and didn't miss a beat!
In short, we found exactly what we needed. Thanks Kristine! We'll stay again next time we're in Chicago!
