We stayed for 16 days in June 2015.

Vladimir was very friendly and provided many suggestions for things to do around the area. He provides an easy check in and check out procedure and a sheet that included things I wanted to know like the wifi password. The place is as it is described and pictured. You get your own floor including living room with TV (with access to neflix), bathroom, bedroom, washer and dryer, and parking stickers for parking on the street. Parking on the street was easy. The only time it was an issue was coming home after midnight on a weekday but even then it only took an extra 5 minutes. We used the kitchen a few times and it was fully furnished with dishes, pots and pans. It was quiet and the neighborhood was nice. There are many families and dogs in the neighborhood. Kara (Vladimir's cat) was adorable and friendly. She does meow a lot but you can only hear her from the living room. It never bothered us. The nearest L station was about a 20 minute walk away (Blue - Damen). There are multiple bus stops in the area as well. Overall, we had a great time at Vladimir's place and would love to go back if we ever have the chance to stay in Chicago.
