Thomas is a wonderful host! He is so accomodating. My plans changed at the last minute do to a family member's illness and he was more than willing to work with me on the new dates.
The apartment is clean and functional. Everything you need is there, kitchen utensils, bathroom necessities, washer and dryer. It's so nice to come back to the apartment after a long day of a class and sit back and relax.
The location is great! A nice diversity of restaurants within walking distance. Public transportation is also within a few blocks if you wish to go exploring around Chicago.
