We had a memorable stay at Christine's apartment in Ukrainian Village. Her apartment was cozy, with gas stove, wood floors and comfy beds. Plenty of natural light in the rooms. We especially enjoyed her record player and LP collection--fun! The building was quiet, the neighborhood peaceful. The place is close to lots of good shops and restaurants, and a major grocery store, a good thing because we love to cook. Public transportation is a few blocks away, although we chose to walk most places because we enjoyed the neighborhood so much.

Christine was the perfect host, there to greet us when we arrived, easy hand-off of the key, responsive to any questions. (We blew the fuses once and she quickly responded to get the power back on.) The apartment was extremely clean, with plenty of cooking utensils, a full fridge and kitchen table that we used for meals and as a work area.
