We really enjoyed our stay at Kristine's historic (120 year old!) apartment in the beautiful East Lake View neighborhood. It's close to the cozy Diversey Pkwy thoroughfare, which is full of lovely restaurants, cafes, marketplaces, etc. The apt itself is on a nice quiet tree-lined street, which provides a nice view from the living room (especially in the Fall when we visitacrossed). There are many cute art pieces from all over the world laid out thoughtfully throughout the apt that added to its charm.
Not only does Kristine have a great taste for art, but she's also a great host to work with. We especially appreciated her flexibility in accommodating our request for checking-in earlier (due to the inclement weather in Chicago on our arrival date leading to a last-minute change of plans). We'd definitely recommend her place to stay for anyone visiting Chicago!
