Justin's place is as described and as pictured. El train access is just around the corner, quiet residential safe neighborhood to stroll around, charming and friendly restaurants and boutique type shops in walking distance, free parking in the back. Location is perfect to enjoy Chicago.
It is a well maintained 2-bed rooms old condo with updated kitchen and bathroom, TV, stereo system, and with free WiFi. Full sized kitchen has a plenty of space and Justin has offered guests essentials to warm up and cook light meals. If one wants serious cooking, you need to bring in cooking utensils of your choice. Because 7-eleven, Walgreens, Whole Foods market, Target etc are in walking distance, it was easy to pick up what we needed and enjoyed our stay feeling like local. Hot water was constantly supplied and room temperature was maintained perfectly well. Nothing more to ask.
We brought our dog with us and we have no problem finding space to set up the crate for a dog. Our dog also enjoyed strolling neighborhood and he did happily extra walking and enjoyed meeting friendly people.
Street is one-way residential street, so it is basically quiet area, and despite the closeness to the train, inside of the apartment is well blocked the noise from the train. We had good night sleeps in a cozy warm bedroom. Justin set extra warm blankets for us to use, but the furnace was efficient and we did not need them. However, we felt the hospitality and warm thoughts of Justin. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Justin!
