The host left us a bottle of wine and a lovely note welcoming us to the apartment. Prior to arrival she had provided us with very detailed information about accessing different modes of transit as well as what was available locally in the way of groceries, coffee, etc..
The place was clean, comfortable and very roomy, which supported that the photos and descriptions provided were accurate.
I found the bedroom very quiet and very dark, perfect for sleeping. The water pressure was high and there was plenty of hot water for showering.
The neighborhood looked a bit depressing but we were there to see the sights of Chicago and these accommodations were so reasonably priced, quiet and comfortable that it made for a good base of operations.
I would have no trouble recommending this space to a friend.
