Helen is awesome. She is a much travelled and friendly girl, who is also great conversation. I enjoyed listening and sharing stories with Helen. She is Chicago born and raised, so a good go-to point for all things Chicago. She is a top person all round!
Justeon, Helen's son assists as co-host. He is a friendly, responsible and an incredibly well-mannered lad. The place is well furnished, cosy and has everything you need for a short or long term stay! It looks exactly as in the pictures.
The neighbourhood has soul and is probably one of the fast evolving areas of Chicago. The apartment is part of a larger home, which is great as single travellers won’t feel alone. It also offers great privacy as the apartment has its owns entrance. On a positive side note: The neighbours are friendly, down to earth and respectful. The location is within easy walking distance to the Austin Green and Blue L train lines for downtown access.
In a nutshell, I champion Helen as a host as she is enthusiastic and eager to offer fantastic value. I would definitely recommend her apartment and her other listings to Chicago travellers.
