Rachel is a great host! Our communication was from the beginning on excellent. Her place was easy to find and is very well connected with public transport ( red line from downtown) . The neighborhood is well taken care of and safe , only 10 minutes by foot to the shore of Lake Michigan. I stayed only one night, but I enjoyed Rachel' s hospitality very much. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable , especially since my suitcase did not arrive ( and kept being delayed by the airline for another 5 days !!!) I would always go back and stay with Rachel.
