Ruben’s place was everything we needed. We spent most of our days exploring Chicago, so we really only needed a bed to sleep and a shower to get ready for our days. Ruben and his parents are great hosts. They made us feel very welcome during our stay and answered all of our questions about the city. They have a wonderfully friendly cat that was a bonus for me because I love cats. Little Italy was a nice neighborhood and we were just a block or two from diverse restaurants and bars. I get very safe even at night in this area.
