I cannot recommend this place - or the host - enough. The only problem was that it wasn't available for longer! The apartment is jam-packed with charming character, clean and comfortable. In many ways, the stay there was a relaxing holiday in it's own right.

You're a drive/ train ride away from the typical centre of Chicago, so if your plans are all about downtown/north chicago then you have to think hard about whether it's suitable. But the southside has a lot to offer - great food, interesting things to discover and genuinely friendly people.

Absolutely superb host too, which was the cherry on top.

Can you tell that I liked the place?
