I had a great stay at Carlos’s place. The room is very spacy and has a nice sofa and working desk in it. It’s many windows give you a great view across the trees on the street – extremely beautiful in autumn. It was a great place to stay for longer and work there. Another thing I want to highlight is the location. It’s situated in a beautiful neighbourhood near the lake – with a stunning beach park in morning walk distance. Having the lake around was a special treat and I very much enjoyed my walks along the shore. The neighbourhood also feels middle class and safe – same goes for the apartment. There are a few grocery store in walking distance. For anyone studying at Northwestern, the campus shuttle stops at the Loyola station, so that’s another thing that’s very convenient. Overall, I had a lovely stay. Thank to Carlos for being a great host!
