My dad and I loved staying at Marcus & Cathy's place. We were warmly welcomed and shown around the spacious basement apartment that had two beds, kitchen, pantry, living area (joined), bathroom, closet and wardrobe. The description was accurate and just what we wanted. The extra bed that was a blow up mattress was super comfortable and sturdy. The neighbourhood was an eclectic mix, and everyone was very friendly. Marcus and Cathy gave us great recommendations on where to eat, and how to get into downtown, and were also respectful of privacy. They even generously lent us their bicycles! Even though Cathy uses hers every day to get to work. Would definitely stay again if back in Chicago.
