I didn't get to meet Marcia during my stay but the communication was great. Marcia did swing by to try & say hello (she knocked on the front door) but I was sick as a dog during my last two days in Chicago & thought I was hallucinating voices. Nonetheless, I could tell from Marcia's text that she's sweet and thoughtful.
Marcia has a beautiful space -- spacious with amenities (access to fridge & kitchen, and laundry&drier). Place was clean w/ clean sheets & towels provided.
Lyft readily accessible in the area. Since I'm somewhat familiar w Chicago, I decided to take public transportation -- bus across the street took me to Navy Pier/downtown Chicago.
