Erika is a super helpful host! She met our needs from the very beginning of our stay when we had to change our check-in time and she did the same for our check-out, giving us the opportunity of taking full advantage of our last day in Chicago (thanks so much!). Her flat is warm and cozy: we were free to use all the common spaces and we really enjoyed preparing our breakfast in her spacious kitchen illuminated by the sun! Our room was tidy and comfortable. The two cats absolutely discreet (I love them, but my partner is allergic and he had zero problems). The neighborhood is simply perfect: quiet but lively, very well connected to the loop (metro at less than 5 min. walking!). If we might come back to Chicago (and we'd really love to!) we'll definitely try to stay again at Erika's place! Super recommended!
