As a group of four students, our stay at Carolynn’s in April was nothing short of amazing. She was a flexible and friendly host. She answered promptly and checked back on us everyday to see if we needed any help. Arriving to the apartment she had left us some food supplies. Info on the accommodation and getting around town was easily available. Connections to the city are good. She gave us tips on vegetarian/vegan restaurants nearby -we ended up going to Chicago Diner twice during our stay! On Saturday we were invited to join a back yard gathering with our host and their friends on a warm. We enjoyed hearing about life in Chicago. One of us was planning to stay a bit longer to go for a hike by lake Michigan and she got valuable tips on where to go and how. Later next week we shared a wonderful Indian meal prepared by her husband. They really made us feel very welcome. We had a good amount of intimacy in the apartment. One of us slept on the couch and he told me it was a comfortable option. Sometimes the wifi connection was a little weak in the kitchen, in the other rooms it worked fine. The rooms and textiles were clean and crisp. The apartment was decorated in colourful and joyful way. I found it an ideal environment to practice some living room yoga in, good vibes :) We also went jogging in the mornings. The neighborhood was calm and easy, it was a pleasure to stroll by the blossoming trees and gardens. All in all, I can’t imagine how our stay could’ve been any better. We felt like home.
