As a medical student doing a rotation for one month at SAH hospital,Dan’s place was a great choice!
First of all, Dan is a great host,very easy to communicate with,responsive and very friendly. He gave me all the information i needed regarding the arrival instructions and he was very helpful with the suggestions for supermarkets in the area.
The appartment has great -spacious coomon spaces like the living room and kitchen, i liked that the kitchen was fully equipped. It was exactly as expected from what i’ve seen in pictures.Also, it was a good means of getting to know other medical students doing rotations at different hospitals or other students in different fields- overall good quality people and a friendly environment. The neighbours you will have will be mostly people who learn or work in chicago for brief oeriods of time.My room was spacious and clean and the bed was comfy. I liked to laudry room, very useful and fully equipped.
The location is good,the apt is located in a mexican friendly neighbourhood - plenty of kids playing in front of their houses. Pete’s supermarket is close and a great choice!
Apart from that,the only thing i had to be careful about was the contrasting features of the area,bacause as you walk more towards west on Cermak str,the landscape can quickly change.I would recommend hanging out more towards east of dan’s location—- road to Pete’s supermarket is ok, good area.
Overall,i had a great stay and i would totally recommend staying at one of Dan’s places! O
