Arlete’s place is amazingly clean and stylish. The kitchen is gorgeous and roomy. Lots of ice in the freezer. The bedrooms were spacious and quiet. It is located a short walk to Western Station (blue line L train) and takes you right into downtown with limited stops. It’s perfect for quiet relaxing evenings and fun filled days downtown. Arlete was fantastic as a host. We had an issue with parking because of an art festival that was going on near by and she bent over backwards to make sure we were taken care of. I was so impressed by her hospitality and friendliness. If you are going to Chicago, staying at Arlete’s is a must!
