Our stay here was amazing. We immediately felt right at home as Carmen and John welcomed us on arrival. There communication before arriving as well as throughout our trip was excellent. We were in town with family for a wedding but made it an extended weekend to see the city. Carmen and John made it easy with there suggestions and recommendations. The house and hosts are stocked full of information to help see what Chicago has to offer. The house itself was great. First floor apartment with private entrance in a quiet safe neighborhood. A 2 minute walk gets you on a bus and into Chicago's easy to navigate mass transit system. The nearest train is about a 10 minute walk. That same walk gets you to Wicker Park or Bucktown which you can spend a day sampling food and drinks from local original restaurants or bars. Too many things to do nearby to list them all but some examples are comedy clubs, The 606 walking trail or trendy shops. Uber isn't the cheapest way to get around but is probably the fastest. 15-25 minutes in an Uber gets you to pretty much anywhere you want be in the city. All the major attractions, Navy pier, Millennium Park, Willis Tower, Riverwalk, Wrigley Field, The Chicago Art Institute are all quickly accessible.
The apartment was full of all the necessary items: linens, towels, soaps and shampoo were all included. Carmen and John even surprised us with some breakfast items and snacks when we arrived. Fully stocked kitchen to make your own meals. Stove, oven, fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee pot all included.
Our trip and stay in itself was wonderful. Carmen and John made our trip special. Truly genuine people that made our experience one of a kind. Getting to know them was a highlight of the trip.
Would definitely stay here again.
