Nick was a lovely host. Communication was friendly and extremely useful from the start and continued throughout our stay. The room was exactly as described with a comfy bed and a super hot shower. The nice extra touches mark Nick out as a 'super' host. Flowers on arrival, fresh fruit and the most amazing breakfast pastries from the local bakery.....and a pecan pie for Thanksgiving! In in the kitchenette - everything we could possibly need. We didn't use the sitting room or outside deck but being able to do laundry after 8 days travelling was a great bonus. I had forgotten that checkout time was 11 am but Nick graciously extended this until 1 pm even though he had someone arriving later that same day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick's place and will certainly visit again next time we are in Chicago.
