Carol's apartment is in an quiet residential street on Chicago's South side. My first impression was one that I would be safe and I noted the train stop about a 7-10 min walk.
We got 2 CTA cards and topped up at the station. It's 20 minutes directly to the Loop. We bought food to cook breakfast and had dinner out each evening. Although we had the full cooking amenities in the flat.
The beds were extremely comfy, the flat warm clean and well decorated.
My host has a spirit of meekness, hospitality and generousity. There are simple things like extra linens, soap, toilet and kitchen rolls and bin liners, coffee, and creamer were there on arrival.
If I was ever back in Chicago I would stay there. Thanks Carol for an amazing stay.
