The place is just like in the description, lovely, well connected to Chicago downtown and cute cat optional.

Rachel, the host, will delight you in a number of ways:
- I booked this place just one day prior to arrival. She was very quick to reply and quick to give me detailed directions in how to get from the airport from her place
- She had an awesome selection of premium snacks upon your arrival: chocolate, nuts, chips, nuts.
- She put in my room a beautiful bouquet of roses that smelled great
- She shared with me very nice things from her kitchen: a great selection of teas, fresh (farm market) fruit, and she even shared with me an awesome coconut, mint, fruit salad
- She offered to do my laundry along with hers
- On top of all of this, she asked me how can she improve her host experience even further.

In summary, Rachel is a top host in Airbnb. She might me relatively new in the business, but based on my ample experience in Airbnb, I can assure you this is a top one
