We stayed at Tamiz’s place for a weekend in Chicago and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. His apartment was stylish and comfortable. We enjoyed playing with his adorable cats as well. There aren’t a lot of cafés within walking distance, so we really appreciated the coffee-making supplies he made available to us in the morning. The Irving Park neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe—we found plenty of parking right near the apartment and also enjoyed the easy access to the blue line L train to get downtown. We would definitely stay there again!
