My wife and I traveled to Chicago for a 5 night stay. We chose Kathy's place because it was in a nice area and super affordable. For the price we paid, all we expected was a bed and a bathroom, but we got much more than that. The place itself was nice, our room was very simple. There was always coffee and water in the kitchen and shower soap in the bathroom which was supplied by the host. There's a television with Direct TV on it and Kathy went the extra mile and let us rent a movie while we were there. There were two other rooms with people staying in them while we were there. I did not notice them too much, they were not disruptive at all. Overall I would recommend Kathy's place.
