GREAT LOCATION in an upcoming neighborhood of Chicago. The studio is about a 7 minute walk from the Blue Line Logan Square stop. I think it was around a 25 min ride directly from ORD airport.
Mark's rental is perfect for a couple people. The bed is VERY comfortable. The entrance on the right side of the building can be a bit narrow for some people and you can also expect a low clearance above your head (I'm only 5'7") going down a few steps and also inside of the unit (kitchen area).
4 out of 5 for cleanliness. Everything is pretty accurate in the pictures provided. The space was very clean but after the first night we arrived, I noticed that the carpet could have been vacuumed a little better, found a receipt under the bed from a previous visitor, and a couple small cob webs around kitchen area.
The kitchen does not have a microwave but there is a toaster oven. Chicago is foodie paradise so we had lots of leftovers and could not eat them at the studio. We ended up feeding 5-6 different homeless people with leftover meals. Not in this neighborhood, but several in downtown areas.
A couple other downers was the TV pictured in the listing and only one roll of toilet paper. The small Vizio TV was plugged in but there were no wires to cable and/or DVD player. This wasn't so much of a bummer because we didn't spend too much time in the studio.
Bottom line is Mark was a very nice, informative host for my first time in Chicago. He even let us stay on the day of our checkout past 1pm until it was time to leave for our flight.
Would I stay at this rental again? ABSOLTELY, YES.
