Jamal's place was so spacious! We got to stay here with our dogs, and they loved the fenced in back yard. The unit was very clean and warm. Instant coffee and water were provided. There is free parking on the street, which seemed safe enough to us. The nearby area may look rough, but Jamal's place felt very safe. He has a home security system and video door bells. It does take a slight drive to find any stores or restaurants, so be ready for Chicago traffic. I would recommend this place to anyone needing an affordable stay, especially dog owners!
