Toby is a delightful host and his apartment is most comfortable and inviting. He is unobtrusive (he lives upstairs) yet completely (and quickly) responsive to any issues that arise. The neighborhood is removed enough from downtown Chicago that it gives you a sense of what it is like to actually live in that metropolis yet everything is easily accessible by public transportation (7 day unlimited cta pass is the way to go!). My daughter and I felt very much at home and safe in Toby’s apartment. I would definitely stay again.
