Dorene’s place was just what I needed: a comfortable and clean bedroom with desk, plenty of closet space and hangers to hang a week’s worth of clothes, my own bathroom, a separate entrance, and an easy walk to the El trains and multiple restaurants and shops. It felt very much like having my own one bedroom apartment. Dorene was very quick to respond to the one question I had (“Where do I find the iron and ironing board?”…LOL) even though she wasn’t at home when I had the question. This place is definitely on my list of places to potentially revisit when work brings me back to Chicago.
