My family and I had a wonderful and packed 4+ days in Chicago. We were not at Peg's for much of the time as we were out on the town. Our arrival did not go as smooth as hoped as Peg was out of town upon our arrival and the keys left for us to let ourselves in did not work in the doors. We were able to get a hold of Peg on the phone and she was able to walk us through how to get into the apartment through a series of steps. Peg's listing did not mention that the apartment in her home was actually an apartment complex so we were a bit surprised upon arrival, not that this made much of a difference as the neighborhood as Peg describes in her posting is a very nice neighborhood with beautiful buildings with many families living in these apartments. The apartment was cleaned and freshened but there was fruit going bad on the table and left overs in the fridge, obviously oversights when the apartment was cleaned. When Peg arrived back home, she greeted and welcomed us while we dined on her back table. Peg also gladly provided us with several umbrellas to use during out stay as we forgot to pack any. The two burner stove sufficed for our needs but a larger cooking area would provide easier meal preparing. Peg was kind in offering us the use of the washer and dryer which was welcomed. The beds were comfortable, with myself and family sleeping well. One drawback on this living arrangement is the sound of walking from upstairs was quite noticeable while in the bedroom. All in all we had a good time in Chicago and Peg's apartment was of easy access to the city via the train with grocery etc. close by as well as the beach, all in walking distance. Our arrival could have gone better and we would have been appreciative in knowing that Peg would not be there to welcome us and let us in personally instead of struggling with keys.
