Had a great stay at Roberts place. If I could describe the place in three words, it would be cosy, comfortable and efficient. You can tell Robert puts in a lot of thought of the design of the apartment in order to maximize its space. The area is exactly as described by the host. My personal opinion is that its in an area with lots of potential and ideally located to transport opportunities to downtown. The neighbours are also friendly and laid back. The apartment is also within a short walking distance to The Conservatory and Garfield Park. Grocery shopping and take-out opportunities are a 15-20 walk away or a three minute bus ride. Easy peasy!
My stay coincided with the “stay at home” orders in Chicago and worldwide which had potential repercussions on my flight plans. A quick story: Robert chapped my door one day and said “Listen, if you are stranded due to the lockdown situation and can’t fly home, then you can stay here as long as you need and you won’t be charged” I think that says a lot about a persons character. Even though I made it home, the gesture was appreciated.
Thanks for the hospitality!
