Staying with Amanda for six weeks was wonderful. She is a very gracious and welcoming person to all who walk in her front door.

Amanda will go out of her way to ensure you have everything you want or need. From local food reviews to directions she is a wealth of information. She is also a wonderful person to just sit and talk to about your day, your experiences, or anything that pops into your brain.

Hafiz (the cat) is wonderful and should be made friends with.

The neighborhood is great. I walked to and from the L (about a 12-15 minute walk) every day at various times of day with no problem. Make sure you say hi to the pig who lives across the street.

Amanda's house is modern and clean. Everything you need is there.

I will greatly miss the comforts of Amanda's home and highly suggest staying with her if given the chance.
