Erik's place has become one of my favorite places to stay in whenever I visit Chicago because I have consistently been more than satisfied with my stay. This time was no different. Erik's family is very generous, his mom and grandma went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Erik was not there during my stay but he was responsive and easily accessible nonetheless. His house is kept very tidy (more tidy than mine, that's for sure!) and the room is comfortable and the closet space convenient (I was here for an interview). The location is about a 12 to 15 minute walk to the Midway Orange Line station, which is convenient because I spend a lot of my time in Chicago downtown. Neighborhood shops and restaurants are a 7 to 10 minute walk on 63rd St and 59th St. Cheap eats!
