LOVED the neighborhood and the flat! I appreciated Michael's proactive communication prior to our arrival - giving me the opportunity to ask questions and the confidence that everything would be all set for our stay. The neighborhood was quiet - but in no way remote. The flat was within easy walking distance to excellent markets, coffee roasters, cafes, boutiques, pubs, and restaurants! Public transportation to downtown Chicago was easy via bus, cab, and Uber. We could flag a cab right at the end of the street to get us to the Blue Line and O'Hare. The assigned parking spot behind the flat was particularly convenient as we also rented a car for a day trip up north to tour Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. The set up was perfect for myself, my daughter, and son-in-law. Each bedroom had their own full bathroom and the master bedroom was it's own private suite. The third bathroom upstairs, on the main living level, was also very convenient. We cooked a full meal together and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for preparing, cooking, and serving - the dishwasher was also a VERY nice to have! The large sectional in the living room provided us with a comfortable place to gather all together with one another and our Chicago family and watch "Home Alone" once again - celebrating it's 25 year anniversary! I give the host Michael, his flat, and Chicago FIVE STARS *****!
