During my 2 month stay I felt at home at Erica`s place. The apartment is very nice, and has everything you need.
The location is perfect, next to the apartment there is the Bloomingdale Ave. or 606, good for running or cycling. It is also close to the blue line, so that one can quickly commute to the loop.
Erica always responded quickly when questions arose and would help me out.
I highly recommend staying at her place.
