Jessie's place made me feel at home during my first (business) trip to Chicago. The cozy apt is located in a quaint neighborhood just walking distance from the beach and some local stores/restaurants. I appreciated the beautiful, brick architecture on the exterior and the modern finishings on the interior. The apt was equipped with coffee and the necessary utensils with pots and pans to cook if you wanted. The only thing I would mention (not the hosts fault but just as an fyi to the reader) is that it is an older, historical-type building, so it does not have elevators and you will need to haul your bags up 2 flights of stairs. It's not a big deal for the average person, but I mention it for anyone who may be physically disabled in any capacity. The apt is well kept and comfortable once inside so it absolutely warrants a stay if you can manage stairs.
