A truly wonderful place and wonderful host! I had to book Arlete's place on very short notice because of some emergency repairs in my apartment, located in the same neighborhood of Chicago (Bucktown) as Arlete's place. Arlete was so accommodating and so understanding - I deeply appreciated it, especially during a stressful time. I have never seen such an immaculate place! You can see how much care and consideration Arlete has for her guests. The minute I arrived, I felt at home. It's a great space in a vintage building with thoughtful and functional updating. I especially loved the exposed brick wall/shelf unit with muted lighting that changes color! It's such a warm and personal touch - and also a great nightlight! The bed is extremely comfortable and there's basically everything here you could possibly want. So, in short, do not hesitate for a second to book here! As a resident myself, I can attest to what a great neighborhood Bucktown is, with a strong sense of community. The kind of hospitality Arlete offers is a testament to this!
