Tanya's place is very quiet and clean. It is a great place to study. The location is very convenient for medical students (very close to the green line train). It is very affordable, especially if you are staying for a few weeks. Tanya is a kind host who knows all about Chicago and offers great suggestions. When I was looking for restaurants and places to sightsee, she gave more than just the generic tourist attractions. She also provides speedy wifi and plenty of AC for the hot Chicago summers. The room is spacious and has a desk with lamp, big bed, and a small refrigerator and microwave. I spent a few weeks here and Tanya provided fresh towels and sheets periodically throughout my stay. I would highly recommend staying at Tanya's place.
