Jose and his family are warm and friendly and made us feel welcomed to stay in their first floor apt. They live in a safe neighborhood with a school a block away with a playground that has lots of equipment to work out on. We did this at 8 pm with many others enjoying the rubber coated track etc. Street parking is limited but we didn't need it with a space provided right in front of our apt. It was very quiet at night and our rental was clean with everything we needed and more. They even gave us tomatoes and peppers from their healthy garden. We will use Jose's place again on our next stay in Chicago.
