Andy is a great host. I recommend booking a room at his lovely home because my experience was really good.. whole house is full of small details that will catch your eye.. Andy will greet you and make sure you feel at home.. kitchen is spacious and well equipped if you like to cook.. it's quiet in the night except for neighbor dogs that might bark from time to time.. neighborhood is Bronx like- New York style, but as along as you look your own business you'll be ok.. my bed was twin size and for my body frame of 6ft5 it was a bit smaller, but definitely not an issue..
I will come back definitely next time I come to Chicago
