I stayed at Catalin's place for 2 nights and it certainly met my expectations. The location seemed safe and secure, with ample free parking in the area. The place was extremely clean and the host even left snacks and Kurig coffee cups for us to enjoy. The space is small, but the pictures available on the website are not deceptive, so we expected a small place. The ceiling is low in one location, but that should not be a problem unless you are very tall. Overall, a great value and I would highly recommend it to others looking for a clean and affordable place to stay in Chicago.
