This place and host are fantastic! Such a comfortable bed and large room with a private bathroom just across the hall. The host is the perfect roomate with a balance of being friendly and helpful with it almost being like your own place. I stayed for a month and used the space to work remotely during the weekdays and explore in the evenings and weekend. The WiFi was strong and no problems connecting, being on video for Zoom calls, and uploading large files.
Location, location, location - the view from your private balcony is beautiful to see both the sunrise over Lake Michigan and the sunset over the parks and neighborhoods. I spent a lot of time out there reading and soaking up the views. I felt so safe here and access to public transportation was exactly what I needed as I did not have a car with me. There is an express bus right in front of the building, which has the friendliest doormen, and that takes you right to the Loop and beyond. The red line L train is only a 5 minute walk away as well. Download the Ventra travel app - put money for transit and just go! It’s one of the best public transport apps I’ve used, and I do this a lot.
The neighborhood where the condo is located is super safe and there is a college campus a few blocks north. Great location to walk around for basic shopping, restaurants, etc. and the Lakefront Trail, with dedicated bike/walk lanes, starts just a few blocks south and there are so many parks and beaches to access when you want to be in Chicago but not in the heavy tourist areas.  Also recommend stopping at the visitor center located in Macy’s at the old Marshall Fields building off of Randolph St. They are incredibly helpful and have so many recommendations in a printed spreadsheet of everything from art galleries, museums, shows, tours from free to paid.
Thank you Alberto for making my month in Chicago a wonderful experience!
