My wife had an interview at Northwestern, so we were looking for someplace to stay that was close to downtown but in more of a neighborhood so we could get a sense of living in Chicago. Lynn's place was perfect: close to the El train, near a bunch of bars and restaurants, but on a quiet, beautiful block in a nice neighborhood. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, and we loved having the fireplace to thaw our bones after being outside in Chicago's ridiculous wind chill. Lynn was very helpful and communicative. We'll definitely try to stay there again next time we're in Chicago.
