***Honest review***
We were a group of 7 first timers in Chicago that drove from Alabama (14h) and Kansas City (9H). We booked the place 1 day before and Marcie was so into us that she was not able to sleep trying to figure out how could she fit us in her place.
Place is 20-30 minutes away from downtown. Yes, it is on the south side, but it is safe! Trust me, this was the groups main concern. Traffic is not that bad. Just cluster your activities to save time.
Bedrooms were cozy, homie, stuffed, colorful, and well decorated with figurines, pictures, etc. There were extra sheets and towels for everybody. Although, I had to say there was one comforter that smell bad maybe because it was not dried well. But nevertheless, everybody was able to sleep good despite the hectic schedule and fast paced activities we had.
Kitchen is stuffed and full of utensils. We are a group of Filipino nurses ans we eat rice but there was no rice cooker. Marcie supplied us with bottled water, condiments, and ice cream on the fridge, and offered us pizza!!!
Parking was on the street. The community is good. Was a little concern about parking two cars but there were available spots in the street. Area is quiet and peaceful except for this train that passess and horns a few blocks away.
Communication was excellent! Marcie was fast on responding. She reserved the place right away to us once we started chatting. I had a lot of questions and concerns and she was able to address everything. She even gave me a lot of information on how to save more in the city, links to tours, advices where to park, and on how to move around downtown.
Thank you so much Marcie for being a great host. I wish we had the opportunity to meet in person. Thank you so much maam! God bless you. And see you soon. I'll be back for sure.
