An absolutely great value given the close proximity to downtown Chicago, located in a very cute and safe neighborhood. Christine provided a useful itinerary of things around her place as well, of which we took advantage.
The place itself was full of unique trinkets, interesting books, and plenty of records to sample on her record player. The beds were comfortable, and all the basic amenities (shower, fridge, sink, etc.) worked perfectly. The little balcony outside one of the windows in the living space was a nice little nook for early mornings as well!
Christine was a very friendly host, and communicated promptly and clearly with us. Thanks, Christine!
