This was our first time in Chicago and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. Before we even made it to Chicago - Lesley had a whole list of attractions/restaurant recommendations that she sent us (go wherever she tells you - everything we went to was SO good). The neighborhood is super cute and has many cafes/bars/restaurants/boutique shops that are all VERY walkable. The bus stop is right next to the apartment and you can buy a bus ticket at the CVS down the street (also walkable).
The apartment itself felt like home. The unit had high ceilings with plenty of daylight which we enjoyed the most. Everything you need to eat, sleep, shower, chill is provided. She also has a record player with a few albums so we enjoyed a night or two listening to music and drinking wine she left for us ;)
We were also attending a concert during our stay and needed to print off our tickets. When we asked Lesley about where we should go - she offered to print them out for us and leave them on our door that day while we explored Chicago.
I can't say enough great things about our stay. Lesley is a great host and I wish that I could pick up her apartment and move back home to Texas. Thanks Lesley!
