After seeing so many wonderful reviews from solo traveling women I didn't need to look any further. Upon arrival Linda warmly welcomed me into her home. First impressions hold a lot of weight for me. My room was cozy which was perfect for the chilly days I was there. It is a bit of a trek to/from the L, but not so much to warrant not staying. It is located a block away from Division St which is filled with local places to eat and shop. Linda and her place were exactly what I was looking for.
