We had a bit of difficulty getting into the apartment during a literal blizzard on Christmas eve because we were supposed to go in the back, but the host was SO KIND and came over to help us. They also got a repair person for the fridge that wasn't working right on Christmas day! We found the kitchen handy and the bed was comfy. The neighborhood was a bit dirty with trash and there were not local places nearby, but there were some adorable chickens a few blocks away (fun) and it was easy to catch the bus (3 minutes walk) or train (9 minutes walk) to other parts of Chicago for shopping and food
