Russ was an amazing host! My friends and I had the greatest time while visiting Chicago and Russ made it even better. The first day we got there we were able to check in and Russ made it so easy. He explained to us where he was located and even had a couple of tour books and suggestions for us that were really helpful. The space we were staying at was a great location for us; close enough to the transits lines so all we had to do was hop on a bus to get where we needed to go. The neighborhood Russ was in was a great location and had some really nice spots around to see, wish we I would've had more time to explore. Russ was very accommodating when it came to checkout time. Our flights didn't leave until later in the day and we still had a couple of things to see before we left. We didn't want to have to carry our luggage around and when we asked Russ if we could push check out time back, he kindly said that we could and we were able to leave our luggage which made it a lot easier to see Chicago. I'd book again with Russ; he was very nice and had such an adorable dog.
