"Thank you, thank you, thank you" - these are the only words I could think of when I left Amanda and Hafiz the cat at Casa Corazon on my last day. I felt as if Amanda already welcomed me into her home couple of days before I even arrived there, with prompt and thoughtful emails and text messages she sent me making sure I knew how to find the casa. Even when I arrived late in the evening, she gave me a big hug and made me a warm cup of herbal tea. She really made me feel warm and comfortable right from the very beginning, as if I had already known her in my life. Casa corazon is a beautiful house with extremely comfortable guest rooms and bathroom. You also have access to the spacious front and back porch with beautiful flowers and plants. One of my most soothing and relaxing time of the day was sitting outside on the porch, marveling at the beautiful sunset in the evening and watching the clouds roll by. I also had the most wonderful time chatting away with Amanda whenever both of us were home together. If you are staying with Amanda through Sunday, she makes all the guests really yummy pancakes on Sunday morning. Aside from all the wonderful amenities of casa corazon, the take home message I leave here, is that all travelers simply must meet and stay with Amanda. Amanda and casa corazon will surely be your most wonderful memory and experience of Chicago. "You are amazing" - this is what one of the tags on the night stand reads in the guest room. Well Amanda, I leave you with these words, "You and casa corazon are amazing!"
