I spent 6 nights at Barbara's place while I was looking for a long term lease in Chicago. Even though the room is small (as well as is its closet), it was OK for me since I was out of the place for most part of the day.
Barbara is a wonderful host. The arrival day my flight was delayed and I was not able arrive at the time agreed. I sent her an email telling about this and she answered that there was no problem, she will be waiting for me.
Her place is comfortable and she is always trying to help you feel at home.
The appartment is 4 blocks from to the Howard Station of CTA Red Line, where you can go to downtown in 30 min. approximatelly. There is also a big super market 6 blocks away, where you can buy food at reasonable prices if you need.
Thank you Barbara!
