"It was quite cold in Chicago during our stay, but the apartment was nice and warm! The space is huge and the hosts were very communicative. The location is great - lots of food options and the L nearby. The apartment felt fairly clean overall, but the towels and sheets were a bit stained and the floors and doors were a bit squeaky. Overall, it is a great place to stay for a trip of any length!"
