Karen was a top-tier host and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay upon my first visit to Chicago. Check-in was flexible, and the apartment itself was clean and beautifully furnished. There were also thoughtful touches: upon arrival, there was a personalized note of welcome, a saved parking space, and even treats and bowls for the dog I mentioned I was bringing. Location-wise, this apartment is in a beautiful part of town that's within walking distance to Lake Michigan. It's quieter and more residential, but public transportation is a short walk away. I would happily stay here again and can't wait until my next trip to Chicago!
