Barbara was an extremely warm and welcoming host. She really went out of her way to make me feel at home. The room that I stayed in had plenty of space for my things, a nice comfortable bed, and I got my own bathroom, only occasionally shared with other tenants in the adjacent room. The area has very easy access to any amenities you could need (groceries, the El, etc.) and it's always easy to catch an Uber or cab if arriving late at night. I'm particularly a fan of Sol cafe, just a few blocks away (delicious coffee and pastries) and the gorgeous lakeside running trails. Highly recommended!
