This was a lovely, safe stay for myself and my brother visiting from Canada. Silva messaged us at the start and end of our stay, and was quick to respond to questions. The place is clean and has the basics in the kitchen if you want to cook/eat. It was very hot outside during our stay but it was cool indoors. I would return again.
There was a guest in the other room that is Airbnb'ed out (maybe I misread, but it wasn't apparent to me that we were sharing the upstairs with another guest, I thought Silva would be there).
Helpful notes on transit. This stay is in the suburbs. Chicago has 3 transit systems: CTA (downtown), Pace (suburbs), Metra (trains generally taking you further out). You can buy a Ventra card at any train station and use it for all 3. If you register online, you can get a $5 credit and track your usage. The app is useful for adding funds (let's you do increments of $5, whereas the machines are $10) or passes. Also, get a multi-day pass. If you're arriving from O'Hare and planning on visiting downtown, you'll need a CTA/Pace pass. If you're arriving from Midway you'll need the same pass. Don't make our mistake and buy the CTA-only pass (for only $5 more you get the CTA/Pace pass). Without a pass that covers Pace, you'll pay $2 per ride ($0.3 for transfers within 2 hours). It'll take you 45 minutes to get downtown if you get the timing right. I would recommend brunch at Cozy Corner Restaurant right beside California station (blue line). The service is probably the best I have ever experienced, meals are filling.
