If you're going to be in the city for more than a week this is definitely the place to book. Bill and Kathy go out of their way to make you feel at home. From the moment I booked on Airbnb to the moment we left their apartment everything was super easy. The apartment was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked for you to prepare your own meals. The view from the third floor was great my son enjoyed watching the high school baseball games across the street. It's in walking distance to the YMCA if you enjoy working out. Its a short drive to down town Chicago and an even shorter drive to the University of Chicago. The apartment is in a good neighborhood the further south you travel it does seem that the neighborhoods get a little rough. Bill and Kathy have done an amazing job on the safety features of the apartment building and in each unit. I never felt unsafe while I was there. This is the place to book if you're visiting Chicago.
