We came to the Chicago area so my daughter could tour Loyola University and audition for their dance program. We chose this particular location because first it came highly recommended, second the cost was reasonable and third the location was perfect. It did not disappoint! We were welcomed by Eduardo and Leo (the cute dog), and felt immediately at home! Eduardo was extremely helpful and responsive to all our questions, offering suggestions for restaurants, events and transportation. With an impending blizzard he was willing to help us out and accommodate our ever changing travel plans. We rented the 2 bedroom apartment which was very spacious and beautifully decorated, as was the rest of the home. It was perfect for 2 teenage girls and their Moms. The surrounding neighborhood reminded us of our neighborhood in St. Paul. Beautiful, quiet and we felt very safe as the 4 of us walked to and from the Loyola campus and L train stops. Not sure if my daughter will choose to attend Loyola but we will be sure to come back to stay with the LaRuffas again. Next time we will look forward to meeting Lois and staying for a longer time. Thank you!!
