it's very clean and cosy, Eric had been warm and welcoming! we didn't speak much but the place has everything i needed and more.
One thing to note is the commuting time! taking the Metra is much faster and cost $5 more when transferring from the CTA blue line which is a different transport company.
To stick to all CTA mode of transport to Eric's place, which may be cheaper, but will take twice the time and slightly more walking distance.
