Cathy's place is in such a great location! It is only a couple blocks from the water, 1 block from the train and the down town area the apartment is in is great as well. The train ride takes about 10 minutes to downtown Chicago which is very easy train ride.
The apartment was ideal for us as well. We had 5 people in our group and we had great amount of space. There was a full kitchen(all appliances), living room, bathroom and closets as well. They also supplied us with all needs a hotel would provide. The parking was also a great accessory! We have a platform of our own behind the place so we did not have to park on the street.
When we arrived, Cathy's husband Dave meet us and showed us around, made sure we knew where everything was, what keys to use for the apartment and was sure to answer any questions that we had. The couple was also available at any time for us to call them if we had additional questions as well.
Cathy and Dave are great hosts and I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Chicago. It is a great location and a great place to stay! :)
