Bright, spacious and stunningly gorgeous, the beautiful photographs do not do this property justice! Four of us (2couples) stayed over Labor Day weekend, and we were blown away by the adorable residential neighborhood and chic and modern, yet comfortable decor of the house. Blocks from the lake and close to Loyola University, there is plenty to keep you busy nearby, while the immediate surroundings are quiet and quaint. Plenty of neighbors offered friendly greetings as they walked by with their dogs, we did not see very many children. Though there is only one full bath in the house (plus one half bath), the four of us were able to cycle through showers each morning without rushing, and never ran out of hot water. Marcelo checked in with us several times before we arrived and at least once daily to make sure everything was satisfactory, and was willing to offer any recommendations for dining and/or activities at our request. This was our first visit to Chicago, and we plan on coming back many more times. When we do, we definitely plan on staying with Mark and Marcelo again. They were amazing hosts and we are very grateful to them!
