I only stayed for 3 nights in Amanda's place but it was totally nice. The house is exactly as shown on the photos. It is very nicely decorated and well equipped. It is not central but quite close to the pink metro line which takes you to the Loop directly. The walk to the nearest metro station takes around 12-13 mins. The neighbourhood is very diverse. For those who like multi-cultural environments it is quite interesting. Amanda is a great host. She was very nice to prepare best pancakes on sunday morning as well as coffee. She was also willing to give recommendations for what to see/do in Chicago and whatever I could manage to do in that list I was very happy about. I highly recommend.
