On a very short notice we looked for a four day stay at Patrice's house. Even sending a request late at the evening we received a fast response. On the next day the house was booked.
After a very friendly welcome from Patrice we received helpful hints especially about getting around and using the metro. We decided to drive 5 minutes to the Loyola station which brings you downtown Chicago in 25-30 minutes. (20 minutes to the Cubs or 40 minutes to the White-Sox). The 7 days pass was only 28 US$. Close to the house are also two bigger supermarkets within 2-10 minutes driving distance.
The house is just great. Everything is there. The kitchen is well equiped so we even cooked dinner twice.
So overall it was a great stay at Patrice's house. I can only recommend it to everybody. Coming back to Chicago I would for sure stay there again.
So thanks to Patrice and a great stay in Chicago
