Staying with Irena and Martin was a great find. Centrally located in Bucktown with lots of great restaurant options; neighborhood bars; a wonderful elevated pathway for pedestrians/ bike riders, and some historical insights from the host themselves, I really felt like I was in Chicago and not just visiting.
The apartment was the perfect size and is tucked away allowing for a very quiet and restful stay. I was able to work remotely when I needed to and also go out easily into downtown Chicago whenever i needed as well. They are very nice and helpful hosts who will show you
what its like to be in the midwest. Highly recommended!
