Desola and Lexie (her lab/border collie puppy) were great hosts. Desola set very clear expectations for my stay which were exceeded on account of her hospitality and thoughtfulness. Her home is spacious and very clean. Basic toiletries I forget to pack were kindly available to me. The apartment complex is not very far from the University of Chicago or the El (which takes you to downtown Chicago in 30 minutes). Overall a very pleasant and relaxing stay.
