Cynthia and Lisa were wonderful hosts. Great communication, very prompt and super helpful with wonderful suggestions. The neighborhood is amazing and there are beautiful murals everywhere, so if you can take a stroll around and just admire the creativity and culture. They suggested the bar across the street (like literally RIGHT across the street) and it is an awesome dive bar with all local taps, and outstanding cocktails. Both bartenders we encountered were ridiculously friendly and welcoming. They also suggested the cafe basically two doors down called ‘L’Cafecito and it was so good. Cute little shop connected to a Pink Line stop (which was crazy convenient for getting into the city) with one of the best cheese danish I’ve ever had, and their famous chocolate espresso latte that rocked my socks off. It’s a must stop. The ONLY thing I wish I had prepared myself for was the noise. I was expecting some, being urban and right next to the train (which doesn’t bother me having lived by tracks my whole life) but first night I slept on the fold out in the living room and the morning traffic was CRAZY! Chicago traffic is wild and people quickly show displeasure with each other with long drawn out honks and often. The second night I stayed in one of the rooms and you can hear the upstairs neighbors every move and anytime anyone opens/closes their door it’s like it was in our apt. For me it wasn’t an issue but light sleepers should definitely bring earplugs or headphones for sure. All in all it was exactly what we needed for our trip needs, and we enjoyed ourselves very much and would stay here again for sure.
