Dorene's place is such a hidden gem! She was out of town when we arrived but had already messaged me directions to get there and the code for keyless entry which made checking in a breeze. The place was nice and clean, and extremely conveniently located for us. We were in town for a wedding and really just needed a comfortable and safe place to sleep. Dorene checked in with me throughout the weekend and also adjusted the air conditioning for us remotely. The snacks and coffee were also a huge plus, as well as how close the place is to the bus line. We had our baby with us and Dorene was fine with that, too (some hosts are not). All in all, we had a great stay and would recommend Dorene's place to anyone coming to Chicago!
