Rachel is an awesome host!!
I really do recommend her.
I have been staying here in her apartment for the past 40 days and I guaranty you that she will do her best to make you feel at home.
She treats me so well that even my mother is jealous.
As soon as I arrived, she had in the room, some chips, crackers and water that was great!
Also she had all these pamphlets and maps showing the best restaurants and places to go in the neighborhood, and all around Chicago.
The apartment is only a 2 blocks away from the red line train, so it is really easy to go anywhere. I have got a job at the loop and in rush-hour it takes me from 35 to 55 min depending in how cluttered the train lines are. But only on rush-hour, any other time, you should take from 35 to 40 min to get to the apartment from the loop.
She has a really nice and trained dog, Agnes, that you`ll just love, but she is not always at the apartment, only a few days out of the week.
Since Rachel is not supposed to let people on in the laundry room, she will wash all the clothes you need with no problem at all, a big deal for me!
She has become a really good friend and I feel really lucky to have rented the room at her apartment.
Since I extended my stay for another 2 weeks I`ll be giving another review, probably complementing her even more and saying why you really should stay at her place.
