Erik's blue room is a great experience for the price! I was in Chicago to run the marathon and stayed for three nights. I landed at Midway Airport, which is within walking distance to his house, which was one of the reasons I booked this place. His house is also within a 15 minute walk to the Orange Line Rail Station, which goes to downtown. It is so easy to get around Chicago on the CTA. The bed was very comfortable. No problems sleeping there. Erik is a very sociable individual. Along with the rest of his family, he is quite interested in getting to know his guests. Overall I had a great time and I definitely recommend the blue room at Erik's house!
