Both my sister and I would very highly recommend Anthony as a host. He was quick to respond to our questions (before and during our trip), and offered valuable insight regarding where/what to visit while in Chicago. Anthony greeted us downstairs when we arrived and even helped carry our bags!
His place is very well located: it's right in between two of the main north/south running streets, which makes the walk downtown a breeze. It took us 20ish minutes to walk to Grant Park, and another 20ish to reach the river. It's also quite close to the highway access (if you're driving), as well as grocery and other stores.
Anthony's condo is clean, spacious, and comfortable. He provides you with everything you need: coffee, tea, snacks, bottled water, use of his kitchen/living room, towels, etc. There were even welcome drinks (beer and wine) waiting for us in a mini fridge in the room! Your own personal bathroom is located just down the hall from the room.
Anthony was super friendly and great to chat with when we weren't out exploring the city. He is incredibly welcoming - I truly cannot stress that enough. We would definitely stay with Anthony again!
