Our apartment is located in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood near Chinatown. The apartment is in a convenient location only half a block from CTA trains and buses. Close to McCormick Place, Downtown, UIC and museums.
Our home is a modest and cozy 3 bedroom apartment that's a little rough around the edges. We have two rooms available for students and business travelers, so there is always an opportunity to make new friends from around the world. My girlfriend, Kiah, and I live here and are always happy to answer your questions or give you advice about where to eat and what to see in Chicago!
