We were made to feel very welcome. Karen was very available, met us at the apartment, and had many helpful recommendations about activities in Chicago. There is a wonderful view of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan from the living room windows. The apartment was more amazing and charming than the pictures could show. Kitchen is modern and well equipped. Bedroom also overlooked the city and lakefront. Apartment was very tastefully and artfully decorated. We were fine with the neighborhood and found it easy to get to Hyde Park and downtown. This was a great find.
