We stayed at Ben's place for 3 nights during a trip to Chicago. We had a very good experience - the place is comfortable and has a nice living room/kitchen area. It's conveniently located for accessing most of the north side, including via the train. Ben was able to provide us with temporary parking passes, which made parking and driving around town easy--we really appreciated this. On arrival we had a bit of trouble figuring out which unit was ours since we didn't see any unit numbers on the doors (it's the one on the first floor, not the basement, in the back building). But Ben was very responsive and I'm sure would have straightened us out if we hadn't figured it out on our own. We'd definitely stay here again when we come back to Chicago!
