4 of us headed to Chicago for the weekend from Nashville to see the Peter Gabriel/Sting concert. Irena's place was highly rated and close to the United Center, not to mention very reasonably priced.

Irena was very professional and always quick to respond. As the date for our trip approached, she informed me that she'd be out of town but left a contact in case I had any issues. This was especially helpful when I had some trouble getting into the downstairs coin laundry; the contact answered right away and helped me with my issue.

When we arrived, we were blown away. The apartment is located in a great part of town; absolutely beautiful area, and it felt very safe. At one point we walked down to get pizza at midnight and didn't even give it a second thought.

The apartment has a spacious common area with a full kitchen, complete with dishes and silverware. One bathroom with plenty of towels. Both bedrooms were great as well; comfortable beds and clean sheets.

After we left and were well on our way home, I realized I forgot the poster we bought at the concert. Again, the contact picked right up and we arranged to have it mailed to my house. So much appreciated! I heard from Irena today, and she said she'll let me know when it ships.

Overall, our stay at Irena's was perfect. Great apartment, great location, reasonable price, excellent host. I highly recommend Irena as a host! You won't be disappointed!
