Karen is one of the nicest and most accommodating hosts I have ever met. She picked my mom and me up from the airport (O'Hare) in the evening & gave us a brief intro. of Chicago on the way to her condo. She also helped us figure out where & how to store our luggage the day we left since our flight was late at night. Her place is also awesome. Super artsy, comfy and well equipped. Felt like home! Transportation is easy. We took J14 or 6 or 26 to downtown/the Loop everyday. Never waited for more than 10 minutes for the bus to come. Very safe neighborhood as well. It was a pleasure to get to know Karen & stayed at her condo in Chicago. Highly recommended. Would love to stay again!
