From the very start, Erika was incredibly welcoming. She responded quickly to every text I sent her, including questions about her place or about restaurant recommendations. We spent some time with Erika and she is easy-going and hospitable. We really felt at home, especially when she made us coffee in the morning and bought us some things to make for breakfast. Her house is close to several restaurants and coffee shops, and a short walk to the "L." If (and when) we come back, we are definitely going to look for Erika again!
