My time staying with Angie and Mike in Chicago was an absolutely delightful experience. Their hospitality was unparalleled, ensuring that my every need was attended to and that I always felt at home. Their residence, situated near the University of Chicago and the Metra Train Station, was the perfect base from which those that want to study and enjoy downtown.
Angie and Mike and their family are not just hosts but became friends during my stay.
I recommend staying with Angie and Mike. I miss them so much. They received me as a family member, and took care of everything I needed during seven months.
I am waiting to visiting them again soon.

Angie and Mike are perfect hosts. It was like living with my own family. They are very welcoming, supportive and warm-hearted people. They helped me to get to know the neighborhood with all the hidden nice places. I always felt comfortable and enjoyed cycling around; UChicago was in convenient distance.
