Amanda is the epitome of an amazing and lovely host! She welcomed my mother and I with open arms and made us feel like it was our home away from home. You can sense her genuine kindness as soon as you walk in her eclectic & cultured apartment. She kindly shared her coffee and wine and graciously suggested local hot spots in the Hyde park neighborhood. I HIGHLY recommend staying at Amanda's if it's your first time or 100th time visiting Chicago. Amanda is a beautiful person, inside and out.
