I have been a Chicago resident for many years now (just needed a quiet spot to attend an important teleconference) so I can tell you that Seth and Mike's place is the authentic Chicago experience. A hiply decorated and efficiently stocked flat in a beautiful old greystone (don't miss the Godzilla art and the classic Chicago back porch) in a neighborhood that's a little rough around the edges but has an amazing park and is 5 minute walk from the train. If you want the real Chicago experience this is the place!
