Cherilyn and Walter have been wonderful hosts. I felt very welcome. They are incredibly friendly and such lovely people.
My room was lovely, the bed comfy and had my own private bathroom.
The place is a short (in not during rush hours) uber drive away from downtown Chicago. During rush hours you can either get an uber to the closest subway lines - I think there are 3 different lines nearby - green and red accessible by bus 39 and I think blue by bus 40 (not sure about that one). Bus 39 is not very frequent so best to get an app so you leave the house at the right time, but it's literally 1 min walk from the house.
The neighbourhood is very quiet so nothing will disturb your sleep.
People of Chicago are incredibly friendly and helpful.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the dog (didn't have much encounter with the cat) that is the cutest little dog ever and so so friendly. I was tempted to pack him in my suitcase lol.
Thank you Cherilyn and Walter for having me. It's been such a pleasure. All the best.
