Brandon is a super host, he answered my texts very quickly and was flexible and very helpful in our requests. The apartment is very comfortable with all the amenities that made us feel right at home. The location was ideal with places to go out to eat and food shopping within walking distance and to theater as well. There is a Whole Foods near by and many cafes and bars. The lake is within a short walking distance and we enjoyed the 45mn walk! Also bikes are accesible near by for rent. Not to forget walking distance are buses to downtown. I will definitely stay here again when I come visit Chicago. And highly recommend this place!
