We enjoyed our stay at Demitri's place in the Winnemac neighborhood in Chicago. The apartment was quiet, clean, and close to public transportation. The area is beautiful and easy to get around even though it's on the more northern side of the city. Demitri was helpful and quick to respond to any questions.
The only drawbacks were the lack of amenities in the kitchen area (most of my previous hosts have offered some small complimentary food items) and that only two 1-ply rolls of toilet paper were provided. We were not able to check in until about 10:00 at night and were surprised to see that there was nothing food wise provided in the apartment, not even a package or crackers or granola bars. Fortunately the low-quality toilet paper lasted between the two of us over the 5 days of our stay, so we did not have to go and purchase anymore ourselves. This was a bit frustrating for the price of the accommodations, but overall we enjoyed our stay.
