Tony' s place is exactly as described and well maintained. Everything about our trip was easy; checking in & out, communication with the host, and traveling to and from the apartment was all very straight-forward and efficient. Tony was both courteous and unobtrusive to my girlfriend and I and made it clear that he was available if needed. We had a great trip with no curveballs.
I'd recommend visitors look into purchasing a Ventra Card for easy use of CTA buses and intercity metro lines. My girlfriend and I each purchased a 3 day pass for 20$ apiece.
