Amado was an outstanding host and his apartment was perfect for my stay in Chicago. The neighborhood is great--lots of things to walk to, easily accessible via bus, etc--and Amado even picked me up from the nearby El stop just to give me a tour of the neighborhood! He also made a handy map outlining local establishments and left a huge bowl of organic fruit for us. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and convenient--with an onsite laundry room and full kitchen to boot. We had a fantastic stay and can't wait to return!
