We stayed at Ronald and Carla's place for only two nights but they were the most friendly and accommodating hosts! I wanted to drop off my luggage at their place before check-in due to an inconvenience and Ronald kindly greeted us early in the morning. They also brought us into the Art Institute free of charge which was extremely generous of them. Their home is clean, cozy and absolutely lovely, with beautiful furniture and an assortment of artworks. The bedroom is in an isolated area with the most comfortable bed. The entire space is not big, but if you're looking for a few nights of comfortable and cozy stay, it's just perfect. Ronald and Carla were both very easy and efficient to communicate with, offering us many tips for sightseeing and eating around town. The Ukrainian Village is about a 35-45 minute bus/train ride to get to downtown Chicago, which does take up a bit of time; but this place is definitely worth the trip! I highly recommend Ronald and Carla's place!
