Felt at home as soon as we walked in! The house is very clean, modern, equipped with everything you could need (washer/dryer was an added plus), and the beds were very comfortable (my kids loved the sofa bed--seriously comfy). Bathroom had access from both the master for my wife and me, and the hallway for the kids. Cute sitting area out front as well.
The home is in a perfect area to explored Chicago. The area has a lot of restaurants and nightspots as well as grocery stores, markets and upscale retail shops. Nice, safe and trendy neighborhood. It is a 2-minute walk to the Metra train that takes you right downtown or the Blue El line takes you straight downtown or to the airport. The 606 trail is a 2-minute walk and is great for running or riding bikes. I would recommend this location for anyone that wants a central location in Chicago.
Mark and his son, Nathan, were both very friendly and responsive hosts - quick advice on how to use the Nest thermostat, Google Home, TV, and local recommendations. We even used Nathan and one of his sisters to help babysit our kids while we had an opportunity to go on a date night! We would DEFINITELY stay here again in the future!
