Alejandra's place is nice and the location is absolutely perfect. Not far from downtown Chicago and the neighborhood seemed safe. One hast to know though that this is just like a hostel and it always depends on the guests who are there, so it is never Alejandra's fault. The first night was great but then some more guests came... We were assigned the room next to the kitchen so there was always quite some noise and only stopped in the evening when I reminded the other guests of the house rules. And (I guess) since there were too many ppl. before us, all the the warm water in the shower was gone in the morning. Even though there is a very nice lady cleaning the place, it cannot be avoided that the bathroom floor is kinda hairy.
It is a great place for one night close to downtown, but not very comfortable for a full and relaxed vacation.
Communication with Alejandra was very easy, she always responded immediately and gave explicit instructions for check in.
