Francesca's place is a lovely (and very clean!) apartment located in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. I really loved it there. Unfortunately, my stay there was a rather short one, but it was a nice and comfortable one. It was easy to talk to Francesca, she gave me some tips where to go, and she was flexible and made no problems when I had to change my arrival time practically in the last minute. Also, I was in Chicago on a very hot day, but the apartment was pleasantly cool. To summarize, Francesca is a great host, and next time I'll go to Chicago, I'll be sure to check whether her place is available.
