The apt was much more than described. It was large, clean, with beautiful and tasteful details; much more space than I expected. High end accessories with added touches of cold beverages and snacks. The host and his girlfriend were extremely friendly and accommodating, allowing me to come and go at all hours without complaint, even extending my check-out time! The initial meeting with turning over of keys was flawless. The neighborhood is in transition, allowing one to experience some of Chicago's real flavor. Street parking of my rental was easy and public transportation is less than a block away. An unexpected bonus was an excellent coffee shop on the corner.
