This place was so fantastic! We have three dogs, and when all of our dog-sitting plans fell through at the last minute, we needed to find a place in Chicago to stay with them. It is not easy to find a great place to stay with dogs, especially since one of our dogs is afraid of stairs and won't do walk-ups. Emily's place is basement level, so there is only one small flight of stairs down, and it has a backyard, and it's near a dog park, and the neighborhood is quiet and wonderful, AND she and her neighbors are so understanding and tolerant of dogs! We got to meet Emily at one point during the weekend and she was so friendly and welcoming. The unit itself was super clean and cozy. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
