We adored this place. Clean, roomy, inviting, bright. We weren't travelling with little ones, but a special book nook with stuffed animals and books for youngsters stood out -special touch. There for 2 weeks in the middle of a month-long trip, so washer & dryer were fantastic to have. Bed & futon were comfy. Outdoor temperatures dropped & there was snow on a few days, but flat was well insulated - never needed the heater or AC. Inside the glass blocks were small windows we could open for fresh air, and i loved that. The kitchen isn't a full kitchen, but lots of space & tools. Included an electric pan in which we could make healthy breakfasts, microwave to re-heat eatery leftovers, etc. Aways found good street parking, but note Chicago requires parking stickers in many areas, which Kathleen had at the ready. At the entry to the flat, Kathleen also has a notebook with wonderful tips/advice. Enjoyed meeting Patrick-very sweet dog. Kathleen was warm, helpful, attentive. Great visit!
