Slavyana's place is light-filled and a beautiful little urban oasis. I loved the location and the ease of getting in and out of the place. It's an excellent choice for a vacation in Chicago, I'd recommend it to my best friends. However, because I had to do some work, it's worth noting that sometimes you can hear the exercise classes being done next door. It was an odd noise that took away from the otherwise tranquil setting. The classes are in the morning and early evening. That was a surprise, but everything else was easy and Slavyana was responsive and sweet. I will be back, I just won't be bringing much work to get done.
