Staying in Carin's place was a great experience!
I booked the room for me and other two friends to spend a weekend in Chicago and I can say we are completely satisfied with it.
The house is located in a safe and beautiful part of the town, not to mention it is only 10 min walk from the subway and 15 min away (using the metro) to downtown Chicago. Transportation is easy and accessible and you can buy tourist passes for few days in the town!
The room and bathroom was exactly as shown in the pictures, well cleaned, very tidy and nicely decorated. Carin is very friendly and made us feel comfortable. She gave us instructions about the city, transportation and for the room; she even had some fruits, water and some crackers for our breakfast, what was really thoughtful of her.
I really recommend staying in her place and would stay there again.
