Emmanuel was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Our flight to Chicago got delayed and Emmanuel stayed up and waited for us to arrive at his place even though he had other things he could have been doing. Emmanuel's apartment was as displayed in the photos. The extra things around the apartment (hair dryer, lotions, coffee) made the stay that much better. I heard the neighborhood wasn't the safest place in Chicago but everyone we ran into in and around the apartment was extremely friendly! Absolutely no bad experiences. Highly recommend Emmanuel's place.
