I love how charming Lesley's place is as soon as you walk in it is very cozy and u immediately feel at home. Everything is very clean and she even uses a lot of organic-ish products such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap. There is a king size bed which is uber comfy. The bathroom is clean and very appealing. She also left some treats and snacks for us on the kitchen countertop. The decor itself is very inviting and I love the little air plants around the home. Lesley's place is walking distance to a CVS Pharmacy(we got some souvenirs there as it was cheaper than most places), some brunch places, and the bus stop is across the street to go straight to downtown Chicago. We also tried a Mexican taco place called "Dona Natys Tacos" which was about a 10 minute ride from the apartment on the 66 bus. And it was raved about from a local at the farmers market close to the apartment. The taqueria was lovely, friendly, cheap and tasty and seems like locals go there more than the upscale taqueria across from them. The only thing I would say is that the wifi isn't the best and that the Blu-ray player on the tv doesn't work (we had rented a movie from the redbox outside of the cvs) but it wasn't a big deal as we just used our phones to watch something on the only day me and my bf decided to stay in. Also bundle up during Chicago winter as it doesn't compare to NYC winter. Wear your warmest coat!
