We spent a week at Mary’s, in Humbolt park. We were happy with the location. We invested in public transportation passes, so we were on buses and the train for seven days. We really got a feel for Chicago.
I never felt unsafe in the neighborhood. We walked a lot at night, and never had any problems.
We fell in love with the cafe on the corner, eating there not once, but twice. Breakfast is fabulous!
The apartment doesn’t feel cramped. We really appreciated the living area. The sofa is comfortable. And we really enjoyed playing records on the turntable while having morning coffee.
The only complaint we had about our stay was the mattress. Not comfortable for two people.
Otherwise I would recommend staying at Mary’s.
She immediately called me when we arrived and couldn’t locate the lock box ( totally our mistake) and when she was out of the country, her husband replied to my text straight away. We really appreciated that.
Thank you, Mary, for opening your home to us!
