Thanks again Santiago, Miguel & Maria!!! I absolutely loved my stay. You all were great to help with anything I needed. When it comes to hospitality they all went above & beyond & were the nicest hosts ever. If I needed something it would be taken care of right away.
So, if you’re looking for an affordable place in Chicago this is a good place to be. The neighborhood might not be for everyone (I seen someone else review before I booked) but I didn’t have any issues over my 2 month stay & I felt safe at all times. This was my first time in Chicago too & I was alone & I was fine.
I hung out in the front outside quite a bit because I’m a smoker so I got to know the some neighbors too & everyone was really nice. I even named the black & white cat that would come and visit daily. She responds to “Oreo” now if you see her that was my “Chicago Cat” while I was there. Lol. She’s not a stray though, she belongs to the other neighbors that I didn’t talk to.
What you see in the pics of this place it’s what you get. Everything is pretty much remodeled & nice. One of the best parts for me was the huge bathtub. I enjoyed my bubble baths almost daily.
All and all it was pretty quiet too. I’m a music producer & I’m getting ready to launch my own label “CookEe Jar Records” & I was able to get a lot of work done during my stay.
When I return to Chicago I’ll definitely come back more than likely.
Uber/Lyft are pretty pricey so I got around on a bike I bought for my stay there along with a monthly CTA pass so I was able to visit downtown quite a bit and do the tourist stuff. Make sure to go have some Chicago classics “Portillos” for a Chicago Dog & Lou Malnati’s for some deep dish pizza!
