Two of my friends and i were visiting for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. Emil our host made sure the house was available for us to check in earlier due to our earlier arriving flights. He met us at the house and went over everything he gave recommendations for transportation. The house was super clean and the refrigerator was stock with water for us. It’s a 3 story home with shared main entrance with separated entrances to each home. The owner lives on the 3rd floor. The nice thing was there was no keys, we were given a door code which was super convenient as we were in and out a lot that weekend (didn’t want to be responsible for keys). The location is very convenient to O’Hare airport (about a 20 minute Uber/Lyft ride) or 4 stop train ride). There is a CVS and Starbucks about 2 blocks up which you can walk to with ease and the area felt very safe. We used the train (metro/CT’s) system a lot for travel during the day and used Uber/lyft at night or if we had a specific destination. Rides ranged from $10 to $17 to downtown and pier area.
I would highly recommend staying at Emil’s place. We would stay again if we return.
