Angie is the wonderful host: practicing healthy living, very communicative and nice person. She gave me all I needed, including some medicines I needed :) The area is calm and nice. You can take blue line or bus to go to the city center from the Western station (10 - 12 min of walk from the place). The house has a back yard, kitchen and lounge area where you can work if necessary. Best host ever! Will come back when I am in Chicago next time!
