I had a great stay at Rafael’s place, and found everything to be exactly as described. The place is kept very clean, and the quiet at night is very nice. My small room was perfect, and more than adequate for the length of my stay. The A/C in my room worked great!! You feel very secure inside the place, and depending on your own personal schedule, you may rarely run into anyone else staying there. Noisy neighbors upstairs during the daytime which can be startling, but I was out and about mostly during those hours. As for the area and location: yes, it is the Westside of Chicago…but if you exercise caution, utilize street smarts, and are able to make good decisions for yourself you may realize the area is not as “scary” as some would make it out to be. I found the short 10 minute walk to the CTA Blue line very convenient and accessible. Right near Downtown and easy to get to other parts of the city through Blue line. And the historic Garfield Park Conservatory is nearby, beautiful, and free!! Overall, a good value and a good stay. Thank you, Rafael!! ❤️
