Upon first meeting Carmen and John I knew I was in for a treat here in Chicago. I stayed at their apartment for 21 days for a business trip to Chicago, working in the local area. Carmen had provided food and amenities for me on arrival, and both her and John were there to greet me and settle me in, with info on the city, things to do and immediate offers to show me around and invites to local gigs, restaurants and events. During the stay I met up with them at least once a week, having a really unforgettable dinner with them one Sunday evening, being especially lucky to join John in his 'man cave' for an epic record listening session I will never forget! Sharing stories and laughs with this amazing, life loving couple made my time in Chicago what it was - a life changing experience. I will be back to stay with them as soon as I can and highly recommend their apartment, as a 'home away from home' while traveling, working or exploring in the mid west. Mucho Gracias guys!
