Brendan's place was extremely clean and well-stocked with towels, sheets and pillow cases. In a super safe neighborhood that was minutes from two train stops, the Metra and the CTA blue line Harlem stop. He was quick to respond and gave recommendations to our family for local yummy restaurants. Although it rained quite a bit during our stay and we didn't use the back yard, he does have a fenced in back yard with chairs and fire pits. It was a nice touch, maybe next time. Yes there was street parking, with room for two vehicles. Five stars well earned, and the best deal in town if you're staying with a large family.
