I had a great stay at Renata’s place during my recent stay in Chicago! First, I want to say that Renata was an excellent host and very responsive to all my questions, both before and during the stay. The apartment is genuinely nice and in a great location in a quiet neighborhood that felt very safe. There is quite easy access to public transportation with the No 77 bus that runs down Belmont with connection to other buses and the Blue Line train to downtown or O’Hare. Close to restaurants, a grocery not too far away, etc. Being from Portland I was looking for a good nearby coffee shop, but none showed up as close as I was expecting by searching on Google. But walking around the first morning I stumbled on a great little shop nearby: Pilates and Coffee on Roscoe. Who would have guessed!
