I was relieved walking into James' apartment to find that it is exactly as pictured. James was an excellent host and his home ensured a comfortable, convenient and memorable trip.
This is a traditional Chicago apartment in the lively Lakeview/Boystown/Wirgleyville neighbourhoods that have much to offer.
The apartment is clean and comfortable, air conditioned and has high speed wifi and Apple TV. The bed is cosy (enough to make it difficult to leave it) and the love seat provides additional seating. The kitchen, like the bathroom, has more of a retro/vintage feel and is also very clean.
With the apartment being less than a 5 minute walk from the Red Line, we were in the heart of Chicago within 15 minutes.
The next time we come to Chicago, we'll definitely be staying with James again!
