Carmen was an excellent host! She always answered my messages on time and was very helpful with everything we asked her for. She gave us a sticker so that we could park our car outside her house. The location is great if you want to discover downtown Chicago during the day but stay quiet at night. The flat itself is convenient for a big group of people. Our parents being older complained a little about getting cold at night and the noise from the heater but we certainly didn’t notice any of these in our bedroom that had an electrical heater itself. The kitchen was fully equipped. I recommend Carmen’s place for a short sejour in Chicago!!
