I would recommend Dorene's place to anyone looking to stay in Chicago. Before arriving, she notified me that she was actually going to be out of town on her own vacation, and provided us with the access code to enter the house. You essentially have the entire basement to yourself with your own backdoor entrance. In the basement you'll have a bedroom, bathroom, and a shared living area with television and one of the most comfortable couches I've ever sat on. She's also in a great location, as she's away from everything, yet next to everything. By that I mean she's in a nice, quiet neighborhood, with a couple local restaurants. Yet, shes only a few blocks from the red line station, which will take you anywhere in the city within a few moments. She's also right by Wrigley Field, and we walked to the game with ease. This place is a hidden gem, and with the price, you're not going to find a better deal. I plan to return to Chicago in the near future, and will be booking with Dorene when the time comes.
