If you're visiting the Chicago area, I would highly recommend Robert's place. We rented this house as our base for picking up our daughter from Northwestern University, and spending a few days exploring Chicago. The location is very convenient - close enough to the train station (to head into Chicago), walking distance to the Lake (good to get your steps in), has parking (if you have a car), and great places to eat and grab coffee. We loved the Left Coast (on N. Lincoln Avenue). The place was clean, spacious, had everything we could have wanted - and then some! The fresh fruits left for us was icing on the cake! The communication was superb. The Monday before our Friday check-in, Robert called me to let me know that the air conditioner had stopped working and that he was prioritizing getting it fixed in advance of our arrival, but he wanted to give me a heads-up. I so appreciated the proactive communication. Great news: Robert got it fixed in a day, so it was no problem. Thank you, Robert and Sue, for being fantastic hosts!
