I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Char and Barry's place. Being very familiar with Chicago, I knew their location was exactly what I wanted; everything you could want is within a few minutes walking distance. This includes restaurants, bars, cafes, grocery, el stop. I was there on my own, but the apartment would work very well for a small family as both bedrooms are a good size. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook at home. They also have a great backyard area with tables and chairs to hang out in - it's very relaxing with beautiful flowers and plants. Char and Barry are very responsive and helpful with any questions and were great hosts. I would absolutely stay here again and hope it is available next time I'm in Chicago.
