I really enjoyed Nathan and Denise’s place, I thought it was pretty much what was described. The location is amazing, just a short walk from the L station and from great restaurants and shop (the Panaderia Nuevo León is a must). It’s a small downstairs studio, but more than enough for one or two people. It’s private and comfortable. They offered the essential amenities and a Britta pitcher. It’s around 30 minutes rail ride from the loop.
One of the downsides for me were the noise, you can hear every step in the upstairs. I’m a heavy sleeper, but definitely woke up sometimes with the step noises. Another downside is the tub/shower. It is really hard to get in an off and really small. I have a bad ankle and had trouble doing it safely. The heat is controlled by the main house, no thermostat in the unit.
I still would recommend this place and I wouldn’t have chosen to stay anywhere else.
