I’ve spent a whole month in Rebecca’s and I can only say good words about Rebecca and her house. Rebecca is a really nice host, very kind and she worries about your welfare.
The house is very clean and the bedroom is so roomy!
It’s a really convenient place if you are planning to go to University or the University hospital, because there is a free shuttle which stops just in the front door. Besides, you can go walking to the university. Thought it is quite far from the downtown you can go there by train (metra) or bus, both of their stops are 1 minute walking from the house.
I highly recommend it if you are going to the University. If you are planning only to visit the Downtown, probably it is a bit far, however it takes less than 30 minutes to reach it by metra or bus.
