Nice, small "ground level" apartment. Some would call it a basement since it's a few steps below street level. Host was very communicative via text and provided fresh flowers and some food and drinks. Neighborhood is older and seems to be in the midst of a lot of renovations, but seemed safe and quiet.

I recently stayed at this 2-bedroom Apt in the South Side of Chicago while attending the Obama Presidential Center Opening Ceremony Watch Party, and it was an excellent experience. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location worked perfectly for my needs as it was conveniently walkable and made getting around easy. The host was outstanding: responsive, welcoming, and very helpful before I arrived, ensuring that everything went smoothly. The space itself was well-maintained and provided a comfortable place to relax. I especially appreciated the clear communication from the host. Overall, I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, well-located, and host-friendly place to stay in the Chicago area.
