We stayed at Marcus and Kathy's place for 5 days. We did get to spend some time together, chat and laugh. The unit is beautiful and very clean. The bed was comfortable. The unit stayed cool with the ceiling fans on.
The neighborhood is in revival. We walked to the 'L' every day with no problem. Everyone we passed on the street was friendly.
Remember this is not a hotel. There is no maid or free breakfast. What you do get is to sip coffee in the morning while looking at rose bushes, grass and hear birds chirping. In the evening kids are out playing and laughing.
We highly recommend staying here. Our experiences were all great.
