So let me start off with this place was excellent. Yes it’s a shared apartment, that’s why you are saving 500 dollars by not getting a hotel. But I swear I think I had the place to myself. It was very clean and spotless. There was a cleaner there every day to spruce up the place and it was perfect for what I needed. The room was dark , which I think is perfect for a room because you need darkness to sleep. Very large modern apartment with the feeling of having it all to myself. It’s a 5min walk to the bus stops and only 20 mins on the bus to almost all attractions. Very happy and you can’t beat it for the price.

Breakfast was superb! We really liked the idea of combining cultures in a breakfast - grits (southern USA) and omelet (Cameroonian way). Tracye was quite helpful with suggestions of what to see in Chicago. The room also has a mini fridge which is a nice touch.

The room itself was comfortable and had a tv and dressing table. There was an ok coffee machine in the kitchen and free pods, which was just nice to have with early morning starts. The shower was decent and there is an option to cook. Overall, I think the property was good value.

    Since I was scheduled to arrive in Chicago early in the morning, I inquired about early check-in just in case, and I was very grateful that he readily agreed. He was a great host who took care of any inconveniences throughout our stay, recommended tourist attractions to visit with children. The accommodation was very clean and equipped with everything. It was much better than a 5 star hotel. Thanks to the host's consideration, it was a very comfortable trip and I highly recommend it.

    We are a family of 6 from New Zealand and stayed here for three nights, I wish we had time to stay longer! So clean, so much space, comfy beds and lovely shower, the area felt safe. It was everything we needed. Great to have our own parking space and also the washing machine and drier. Host was super helpful when we needed her. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. We also got very excited to see a wild deer in someone’s front yard very close by! Very highly recommend and thank you so much to the lovely host.
