We only met Ryan once but he was very welcoming and was responsive to all the queries we had over texts.

His place is huge and beautiful esp the room which was given to us. The washroom was cleaned on daily basis, and was well stocked with clean towel all the time. The place itself was well maintained and the kitchen was clean and available for use for the guests. There is also a mini bar in his kitchen for late night snacks as there isn't much to eat or roam around near his house. This house is also close to 2 of the Chicago CTA lines (one is 15 mins walk and the other is ~ 8mins walk) which gets you into the city in max 20 mins.

Some reviewers had already pointed out that the neighbourhood is a bit rough. It does look like that at first but we came late at night as well and the only things we experienced were drunk guys and some cat calling.

Thanks Ryan for hosting us.
