The loft was as described, sunny and private. The airbed is comfortable to sleep on for a few nights. The deck would be lovely to sit out on in the warmer months. Steve was a good guy. Chatted to us freely when he was around and gave helpful info about the city. We also met Kordt, his friend who was just as helpful. Coffee was available when Steve was around the apt in the mornings. The apt is far enough away from the train not to be too much of a bother, but I slept with earplugs in just to shut it out completely. Thanks for the hospitality! Chicago is a great city.
