Cynthia was a great host! We felt like we were visiting a family member. The room is cozy and very lovely with private bathroom, we also loved the flowers in our room. Her place is very beautiful, clean, filled with beautiful art, and nice music. The apartment is walking distance form the train stop. We were there for the marathon and it's very easy to access to the Grant Park. The neighborhood is safe. It was a great to meet Cynthia and enjoy her lovely apartment. Thanks for having us!
