We were 4 friends staying at Mark's place for a weekend. Mark was a great host, the communication was easy and he was very accommodating when I asked to modify the dates. We loved the neighboorhood: 5 min walk from lakeview or lincoln park bars and restaurant, but away from the busyness in a residential street. The flat was exactly as described, very clean, and bigger than it looks on the pictures for the living areas. It is vintage. We didn't have the opportunity to use the backyard but it looked cosy. I recommend this place.
