It was very easy to communicate with Eric and he and his flatmate were flexible with our arrival time which allowed us to see more of Chicago. Location-wise it was great for us since we visited Chicago the two days before and were travelling on direction Colorado, so Eric's place was away from the city traffic and close to the highway allowing for a good early start for our road trip.
The house was very clean and roomy! Also Sunshine their very cute rescue cat was very welcoming and communicative!
I definitely recommend Eric's place!
