We had an awesome experience staying at Erik's place! Although we did not meet him, he was an excellent communicator, and his mom and grandmother were so welcoming. Erik was even so kind as to send us suggestions for things to do in chicago, which we loved! The house was clean and comfortable and we loved staying in the red room. The area felt safe and we walked to the train each day. We loved our visit to chicago and would definitely recommend staying at Erik's place!
