Nate's place was great. It's very comfortable and was very cozy during some cold April weather. Within just a few blocks, you can find the Brown line stop, the Metra train, a Mariano's market, and some great eating places. Check-in couldn't have been easier. We didn't have any contact with Nate during our stay, as the place was so well-stocked and comfortable that there was nothing we needed! Highly recommend Nate's place!
