Visited Chicago for a few days with a girlfriend and had the best experience staying at Claire’s place. The space exceeded our expectations on every level. Huge (but super cozy), comfortable, hip, with every amenity we could possibly need, and lots of thoughtful touches. The binder of handwritten recommendations really went above and beyond... we followed up on a few of the tips - dining and activities - and were not disappointed.
Although we never met face to face during our stay, communication via text or messaging was quick and helpful.
The trek to the nearest blue line station was the only minor downside. We found it was about a half hour walk, which was easy in the morning when starting out for the day, but less so at night after a day of sightseeing. Of course there are options to get to the station faster (Uber, bus), but the weather was fantastic, so we stuck to walking. Ultimately, we really loved the neighbourhood, so proximity to the metro was an easy compromise.
Overall, amazing place... would stay again in a heartbeat!
