I live in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in Bucktown. The neighborhood is safe and lively, with many cafés, restaurants, live music venues, and bars within walking distance. It is also very accessible by public transportation or car.
The available room is small but has a queen sized bed that comfortably sleeps two. The living room has cable tv and wifi. There is a kitchen and bar area, as well as an outside deck with a gas grill. A parking space and laundry facilities are available.
I am easy going and have hosted many travelers. I am a passionate traveler myself. I also enjoy music, sports, and food. I am learning to cook and trying to learn Spanish.

About the Area
My apartment is located in the trendy Bucktown area, close to Wicker Park. There are lots of restaurants, cafés, and bars within a 15 minute walk.
The transportation in the area is excellent. The CTA blue line can take you downtown in 15 minutes or to OHare airport in 40 minutes. The Metra train is also close, as well as several convenient bus routes.
The highway is close and I have a parking space available. Chicago has a bike sharing program called DivvyBikes with many bikes for rent in the area.
I am a Chicago native and have maps, guidebooks, and other information about the city.
