I had a very nice stay at Grace's place. Grace's home is very comfortable and in a safe part of the city. It is close to bus stops and the el, and it's a quick trip to the Loop area. It's also very easy to get to O'hare. In even the coldest of winter, I felt comfortable and warm at her home. There are some great restaurants close by - try Shokran and Kasbah if you like Moroccan, and Afghan Kabob. There's also Dunkin' Donuts, Walgreens, and lots more in the area. I had a delayed flight due to weather, and Grace was understanding about my request to stay longer until flights were back on schedule.
