Mariella and Lauren were great hosts.! The place was clean, comfy, and felt like home. There were plenty of sanitizing wipes, sprays, and liquids available. I stayed for about a month and 10 days. The hosts made sure I had more than enough towels and sheets, so I wouldn't have to wash them every week.
The place is nicely decorated and relaxing. There is a coin-based washer and dryer in the basement. Mariella and her grandfather Paul, who manages the bldg made sure I was set with everything I needed from check-in. Mariella will also do a complete walk-through of the property during check-in. Any questions I had, Mariella or Lauren were quick to respond.
The neighborhood is safe. It's located in the Belmont-Cragin area. Residential and quiet. Belmont Ave is 1 block away. Diversey is about a 10 min walk. The buses will connect you to the trains if needed. There are several restaurants, fast food places, supermarkets, pharmacies, and banks in walking distance. Cermak Fresh Market is a large supermarket that's literally across the street.
Great location, hospitality, and nice place all around. I'd def recommend staying with Mariella!
