i love this place! it is extremely comfortable. the kitchen is full of all things you need to cook and eat. the park is a block down the road that is big and beautiful. some people may feel some kind of way about the neighborhood but personally little me (4'10") felt very safe walking around in the morning and at night by myself. trying to think if i had any concerns-- no. marcus is extremely hospitable. his dog is beautiful [&quiet, if you must know]!! definitely renting here again on the next visit to chicago.
