This was the perfect place to stay for a short weekend in the city. I used to live in Chicago and came back to help a friend celebrate her birthday. This apartment is totally private, clean, modern, well equipped and very comfortable. It is within walking distance of some great restaurants (try Hopleaf on Clark Street) and easy access to public transport. Uber is great here and it is also very easy to find a taxi. The hosts are fabulous - very responsive and hospitable. This is a loft space over a garage in the back of the main home where the hosts reside. They have a great lock system that provides you with a unique passcode that works only during the duration of your stay, so there is no need to interact with your host if you come at an odd hour and you don't have to worry about losing someones keys. That said, Jenni greeted me upon my arrival and could not have been more welcoming. A great bottle of wine was waiting for me, along with coffee, tea, and snacks. Very hospitable. I was only able to stay one night, but would have loved to extend my stay to enjoy the place for a longer period.
