The place is the basement of the main house where your host lives. The place was clean and hot, which we appreciated during the cold winter days we stayed in Chicago. Kaushal welcomed us with a bottle of wine which was very nice after a long drive on icy roads. He would respond to your emails or text messages almost immediately and he was very helpful and flexible to let us check in at 2am and extend our stay one more day. You can also tell that he loves Chicago and he is an expert about the city. thanks again for everything!
