I stayed at Charla's place for two weeks during a research visit to the University of Chicago. I chose Cozy Studio for its walkable distance to the university and the privacy. The place was super clean and comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with toiletries, towels, and even an umbrella which I appreciated in the uncertain Chicago weather.
Charla is a great host and a warm person. She answered all my queries on time, and was there to receive me when I arrived at the property. She was flexible with my checkout and check-in times and thoughtful about leaving me an extra blanket when the nights got really cold. She also gave me some cool recommendations for things to do in Chicago.
Charla's place is a great location from where to enjoy the university and all the restaurants around it. The lake shore is about a 20 minute walk and the bus stand is 2 minutes away. I loved my stay here and will definitely rebook when I visit the city again.
