I did not meet Catherine, but she was a great host. Accessing her condo was easy and she made allowed me to keep my belongings later than the check out time to accommodate my flight. Her condo is a short walk to the subway station and I was pleasantly surprised by how much her Wicker Park neighborhood had to offer--lots of really cool shops and restaurants. The master suite was comfortable and spacious and the shower is to die for. I would definitely stay with Catherine again.
