Kamal was such a wonderful host, thank you for a great experience! Even before I arrived, we exchanged text messages to ensure my arrival and entry to the home would be smooth and easy, and it was! Kamal is very accommodating and easy to talk to, I feel like I have a new friend in Chicago. :)

The room itself is small and most of the room is occupied by the futon. There is enough room for storage. You can even see Willis Tower from the bedroom window, lovely. I recommend earplugs at night if you're a light sleeper like I am, the house is close to the L station and you might hear the noise from the trains. The pancake breakfast was much needed after a late night out, and hmm mmm was it delicious!

The neighborhood is great! It's a 5 minute walk to the train station, and there are tons of restaurants and bar and shops around to dine and keep you busy. The L train to downtown took maybe 15 minutes. I found that I spent most of my time is this neighborhood and the surrounding neighborhoods of Wicker Park and Logan Square, there was a lot to do! I highly recommend Kamal's place!
