This quaint studio is in a great location. It's close to restaurants, bars, shopping and grocery stores as well as public transportation. I felt as if Sarah was more than adequately prepared for her guests: there were binders with information about local establishments, coupons, tips, and other recommendations. There was even a parking pass provided.

The studio is small, clean, neat, and just right for 1 or 2 guests. The decor is a mixture of vintage and eccentric. There are many photos, cds, and books provided. Should you need it there is a tv with cable and dvd player. The bedroom included A/C and a heater, so you'll feel comfortable no matter the season.

Even though the apartment is the lower level of their home, I never heard or was disrupted by the family or neighbors. It really felt like i was in my own home. Anytime I needed anything Sarah was prompt in answering emails or phone calls.

Overall, my stay at Sarah's apartment was very pleasant and the next time I'm in Chicago I'll be sure to book it again.
