Choosing Barbara's place for my one month stay in chicago was easily the best decision i made for that trip. Her place is ideally located for ppl who need to commute to northern suburbs and otherwise. The room is perfect for one person, or two if you dont have too much luggage. Barbara's a gracious host and a super friendly person who helps you out anyway she can, is always concerned but gives you a lot of space to do your own thing too. I'm glad i chose to stay with her and would probably do so again if the need arises!
