Our first visit to Chicago was pleasantly welcomed thanks to our stay at Brad's home. The place was clean and fully furnished, just as described in the listing. Everything from trash bags, dish soap to laundry detergent was provided. Being able to do our laundry was definitely a plus. The rooms were clean, spacious and very cozy. We had 6 people in our group and it was the perfect size for our stay. There was Pete's fresh market less than 5 minutes away for all our grocery needs, which was really convenient! Parking was a piece of cake since there had reserved us a spot in the garage. There were some nights where loud noises could be heard from the neighborhood but pretty tolerable (Stay duration was weekdays only). Besides that, we didn't explore the neighborhood but had no issues getting around. Brad's place is the perfect place in terms of location if you're planning to explore the city and downtown area. Only 5 minute walk to the blue line and less than 15 minute drive to get to downtown. Communication was fast and effective. We had some problem with checking in but it was quickly resolved. I would totally consider booking Brad's place again!
