The place is quite and comfortable and it suited my timings very well. I hardly saw the other guests as I was leaving early and reaching around 8pm.. Its a good value for money .. its a bit of a walk if you are taking the bus!! but it was ok. I had a problem transferring the money as I didnt have the app mentioned for money transfer !! I requested to pay cash and Yang agreed to it.

    Since I was scheduled to arrive in Chicago early in the morning, I inquired about early check-in just in case, and I was very grateful that he readily agreed. He was a great host who took care of any inconveniences throughout our stay, recommended tourist attractions to visit with children. The accommodation was very clean and equipped with everything. It was much better than a 5 star hotel. Thanks to the host's consideration, it was a very comfortable trip and I highly recommend it.

    We are a family of 6 from New Zealand and stayed here for three nights, I wish we had time to stay longer! So clean, so much space, comfy beds and lovely shower, the area felt safe. It was everything we needed. Great to have our own parking space and also the washing machine and drier. Host was super helpful when we needed her. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. We also got very excited to see a wild deer in someone’s front yard very close by! Very highly recommend and thank you so much to the lovely host.
