Even if the previous comments are already great, we have been received beyond our expectations by Marcus and his wife. Direct neighbours were also helpfull and Marcus well integrated in the community. The appartement is clean, spacious and confortable. All is well organised and the renovation well thought out : you can feel the Germain touch ! ;) Access to the subway after 10 min walking; then straight to the city center. You can also access to the O'Hare International Airport with bus n°52 + California subway station -the blue line- and vis versa : you can save time avoiding going through "the loop" (downtown Chicago).
