Barbara's apartment is exactly as described - charming. It has everything you need (including wifi printer and coffee facilities) and is full of lovely furniture and ornaments. It's spacious and comfortable (especially the beds) and Barbara keeps in contact regularly to check everything is going OK. It's a friendly and vibrant area but street parking can be tricky in the evening so be sure to let Barbara know if you need to use the rear private parking space. Barbara's place is truly excellent value for money and really convenient for everything the beautiful city of Chicago has to offer. Barbara is a caring and thoughtful host.
