Perfect home base for exploring Chicago. We are former Chicagoans and met up with 2 other couples to spend a short week in Alex's place. The front and back porches (and patio!) make gatherings a joy. The bedrooms were private and comfortable. Kitchen is well-equipped and bathrooms were very clean. The street is vibrant but not noisy. I wholeheartedly recommend this place! We were there during a week of 90+ temps and the AC was 100%.
