This was a lovely place to stay in a great Chicago neighborhood, within easy reach of DePaul, the Conservatory, the Zoo, and the El. Not far from downtown, etc. The hosts were gracious and responsive, and we enjoyed having the space to prepare and store our own food when we didn't want to eat out every meal. Chicago can be loud, and this was on a quiet street. Even though the apartment was at garden level, it felt airy and light. We were three people (mom and two teenage kids), which was a bit snug, but it worked, and was much better in my mind than staying in a hotel.
