Safa has such a special place! He’s a friendly but unobtrusive host whose space makes you feel right at home. It’s got a great location that’s walkable to all kinds of fun things to do (there’s even a great taqueria on the other end of the same block!). There’s a huge park nearby, plus all kinds of eateries, places to drink, etc. Free street parking is easy to find (usually right in front of his place). There’s a lot of thoughtful touches in his space (soft towels & comfortable bedding, local travel guides, a cute dining table & chairs, etc). And he makes you feel like his guest instead of just an anonymous source of income. The next time we come to Chicago we plan to stay here for sure. Thanks Safa!
