We help our friends experience Chambana
Tuve una experiencia fantástica en Walnut. Estuve allí al terminar mi doctorado durante la pandemia. Había muchas cosas buenas sobre Walnut, pero especialmente, está en un lugar tranquilo, está completamente amueblado con todo lo que uno necesite y está cerca de todo, incluyendo la línea Green de buses. Si necesitábamos algo, Michael y Eider siempre estaban dispuestos a ayudar y venían en seguida. Tengo muy buen recuerdo de haber estado de alquiler con ellos, ¡lo recomiendo al 100%!

I came to the University of Illinois with my wife and daughter to work as a postdoc and found my home at Pennsylvania. The place was perfect due to its prime location in Urbana, allowing me easy access to all key destinations whether by walking, bus, or bike. The house was fully equipped with all the necessary kitchenware, furniture, and amenities ideal for whatever we needed. The expansive and updated dining area, and spacious backyard provided me with ample and comfortable personal space to host social gatherings. Michael and Eider were always ready to lend a hand with anything and became part of our support abroad. Whenever there was a question or an issue arose, they were quick to respond, offering assistance and swift solutions. Their constant support was invaluable throughout my stay at Pennsylvania.

Vim para a Universidade de Illinois para fazer estágio de pesquisa. Minha principal preocupação era encontrar uma boa casa, pois tenho dois filhos adolescentes. A casa de Michael é perfeita para isso. Tem três quartos, uma boa sala e cozinha. A casa é toda equipada com o necessário para uma família. A cozinha é completa, não falta nada. Tem maquina de lavar e secar o que ajuda muito. A localização é muito boa, fica na Wiley drive, próxima de escolas, mercados, farmacia e com ponto de onibus para todos os lugares de Urbana. Realmente só tenho a agradecer a Michael pela casa e pela atenção que nos deu desde o dia em que chegamos. O contato com ele é rápido, ainda que não tenha sido necessário porque tudo funcionou muito bem.

I came to University of Illinois as an exchange student during my PhD. Back in Brasil I had mates that knew Michael and Eider and they recommended me to stay at Walnut. So, I contacted Mike and made the arrangements to stay there even before I left Brasil. Mike was super nice over the phone and by the time I got there, he and Eider were very welcoming. I knew I had made the right choice because the house was great and very well located. I could get everywhere easily by walking or by bus and there are many markets nearby. Large living room (good to entertain friends), large kitchen (all kitchenware included), my bedroom had everything I needed and the backyard was my favorite place to just chill. Michael and Eider were always willing to help with pretty much everything concerning the house. Whenever something we had a question or something was not working, they always responded quickly to help and fix things. Those six months were just great.

Estuve en la casita de Walnut durante mis estudios graduados en la Universidad de Illinois y viví allí por unos sólidos 3 años. La casa queda en el lado más progresivo y liberal de Urbana, lo que te recuerda que aquí todes somos bienvenides. También, la casa queda lo suficientemente cerca de la universidad como para irte en bicicleta (en 10min estás en la Main Quad), pero lo suficientemente lejos para desconectarte de la escuela y el trabajo. Eso sin mencionar que urbana tiene su propio centro con cafés, un par de restaurantes y uno que otro bar (a 5 minutitos de la casa).
Yo viví en la suite del sótano, y lo amé. Tenía mi propio baño, acceso a la cocina, a lavadora y secadora, y muchísimo espacio para mis cosas. Eider y Miguel trabajaron durísimo para que yo siempre tuviera una suite bien amoblada, y siempre estaban allí para ti incluso en medio de situaciones locas que suceden con frecuencia en el medio oeste estadounidense (como que se caiga un árbol en el patio, por ejemplo). Por supuesto, la casa tiene un patio espacioso y conveniente con un encanto muy midwestern (con su propio lugar para fogatas). También tuve la oportunidad de compartir casa con dos estudiantes graduados más que hizo la vida menos difícil con cuestiones relacionadas a la escuela graduada. De verdad fue genial vivir en la suite del basement de Walnut, y lo recomiendo para personas que valoran la independencia, balance vida/trabajo, rutas para bicicletas y vivir en comunidad en una casa de estudiantes graduados.

Chegamos em Urbana em Julho de 2022 para período de pós doutorado do Fábio na UIC. Conhecemos Mike já na primeira semana e ele nos mostrou sua casa de Pennsylvania. Ficamos encantados. A hospitalidade do Mike e da Eider foi incrível, sempre prestativos e atenciosos com nossa família. A casa foi nosso lar por um ano, quando então retornamos ao Brasil. Espaçosa e aconchegante, com muita luz natural, fica em uma região estratégica, próxima a Universidade, farmácias e supermercados. Nossa filha mais velha estudou na escola em frente e foi uma experiência fantástica, pois literalmente só atravessava a rua para ir estudar. O jardim é lindo e fica muito florido na primavera. Além de tudo isso, a negociação do aluguel foi um diferencial, pois nos poupou do desgaste com imobiliárias e todas as burocracias relacionadas. Desejo que outras famílias possam viver uma experiência tão boa quanto a que tivemos em Urbana. Obrigada Mike e Eider por fazerem parte e tornarem esse período no U.S ainda mais especial.
