Derek was SO gracious to host me at the last minute and making special arrangements with me. His place is FAB – U- LOUS. Old school crown molding and hardwood floors, with a great kitchen and dinning area. The location was perfect for my short stay in Chicago – walk able to Wrigley Field and the Red line for excursions into the city and Oak Park. Alternative transportation is available steps away and Whole Foods is minutes down the street.

The bed was comfortable (I have back issues) and the bathroom was appointed with personal products if needed. Great water pressure – plenty of towels – like a hotel room but better because of the homey feeling you get. The apartment is very quiet and has great curb appeal. The neighborhood was friendly and I felt safe at all times as a solo traveler.

ADDED BONUS: the best kitties in the world! I wanted to sneak them into my carry on. The best part of the trip was coming back to the apartment at night and watching TV with the kitties and a glass of wine! Kisses Joey and Georgina!

I would definitely rent the apartment on my future trips to Chicago.
Hope to see you soon!
