Pete was an exceptional host. He was available, always helpful beyond expectation and has a lovely disposition. The apartment location worked perfectly for us. It is close to the pink train line, Divvy bikes and two grocery stories within walking distance. We cooked most meals so the kitchen was important. It was very well fitted with great pots and pans, adequate plates glasses and bowls and a coffee grinder. Only wish was a wire sieve for small vegetables and noodles. Fully functioning great gas stove and and freezer/refrig combination. Everything was clean like new. The bathroom is small but functions well. And the tub holds water for a bath. There are plenty of towels with shampoo, rinse and body soap. The living area worked as a resting place and a couch bed for my son. The couch had a bit of a sag but we didn't care as we were out most of the time and my son at 25 had no problem sleeping with the sag. More importantly, the WiFi was strong and the TV worked well. The apartment was cooled with a bedroom air conditioner and over head fans. We found it lovely. We stayed with Pete a week during most days of mid to high 80's and the apartment stayed lovely. We knew it was summer but were very comfortable. The bed was firm but not hard, perfect for me. There is a train line close but ear plugs solved that and I slept straight through the night. We couldn't have had a better time and were more than comfortable. Pete has us whenever we visit Chicago. Oh I forgot to say there's a tortilla factory in the neighborhood where you can get fresh soft tortilla every morning for breakfast! 35 cent!
