I lived in Chicago for nearly five years. I haven't been back in almost four. This rental made me feel right back home. It was a perfect fit for what I needed. Pet friendly, which is huge. You do have to walk through the neighbors back porch area which, at first, felt a little intrusive but I have to imagine they're used to it at this point and I never saw them or had any issues. The communication was awesome with the host and everything felt clean and incredibly comfortable. This was a perfect space and I can't wait to come back and stay again.
