Sharon's place was extremely comfortable. She and her roommate were very friendly and welcoming. It's very conveniently located for visiting the UIC medical center. I was easily able to find street parking right in front of the house throughout my stay (Sharon provided me with daily permits). There is also public transit relatively close by, but if you're traveling alone later at night, I might not recommend using the blue line (stops are along the highway and it can feel pretty deserted at night).
