Ewa and her family go way beyond the norm of hosting. I have never felt so supported during a stay, and I’ve had some pretty supportive hosts. In addition to their unparalleled compassion, the apartment itself is gorgeously set up. It’s much quieter than most of Chicago despite being so close to a major thoroughfare. The original art on the walls provides a touch that no amount of stock art can achieve. The sunlight in the morning invites you to explore the area, which happens to be one of the coolest parts of Chicago. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I call the apartment my “safe haven” because I truly felt that way.
