Eric’s place was extremely clean and comfortable for our family of four. The decor is great (lots of Chicago art—which I loved!) and it is very family friendly with books, toys and kids dishes. We loved the 15 min walk to the brown line, too. When I booked this I didn’t realize it was a basement, but that was my bad not reading carefully. I appreciated the noise machines in the bedrooms for blocking any noise from above. A huge bonus was how hospitable Eric was—I was there to run the marathon and they left a note of encouragement outside the door! What a very pleasant surprise! We would definitely come here again!
