Mercedes' place is gorgeous and has a really cozy vibe. If you're looking for a homely stay with an amazing host, this is the place! We stayed here for a few days and were able to work remotely with no problems. The place comfortably holds 3-5 guests. Although one of the bedrooms is not air-conditioned, the remaining two AC's can be turned on to cool down the whole house. The heating works great throughout though! Parking was not an issue given the home is on a side street that's relatively isolated from noisy traffic. Mercedes also had tons of recommendations for us and was always communicative. We will definitely try to stay here again if we visit Chicago :)
