Communication with Kamal was seamless as he was extremely responsive and helpful from the moment we booked to when we departed. His place was conveniently located ~5 minutes walk from the L blue line which runs 24 hours/day. The area was also full of restaurants and bars which was a plus. While the room we stayed in was small (he had 2 rooms listed on Airbnb) but comfortable (trains passing by can be noisy at time), Kamal had checked with us in advance before accepting our booking to ensure we are okay with that. We would certainly come back if and when we are back in Chicago.
Thanks for opening your home to us, Kamal!
