I stayed for a month and half at Felice's place to do research at Northwestern University. My stay at Felice's was truly exceptional. The house is large and confortable, furnished and decorated with excellent artistry. The kitchen is professional grade and very confortable for cooking dinner or your take out lunch.
Although a little on the upper edges of the city, your are only a 15 to 20 minute train ride from everything. The neighborhood is super safe and really endearing, with lots of great restaurants and bars in the vicinity.
Felice, is just as advertised: a super host! She is receptive and attentive in all things. She's also a great guide and enthusiast of the city. For example, Felice guided me through a bicycle tour all along the lake- btw, highly recommended.
Great house, super host, fantastic neighborhood- book it, you can't go wrong!
