We loved staying at Brian and Maria's place! Check-in was a breeze and the beautifully-furnished apartment was spotless. It was a great hub while my husband was at a conference at McCormick Place. Free parking was always available right in front of their building, and I took my 5-month-old out for walks all over: to the lakeshore, to the grocery store 2 blocks away, to a nearby coffee shop, and to the El to get to the Loop for some Christmas festivities. Brian and Maria were so easy to communicate with, and even offered a few baby items should we have needed them. I will 100% check out this listing again next time we're heading to Chicago.
