I cannot recommend Tammy as a host highly enough. I stayed for six weeks while transitioning to a new job and life in Chicago and this was an absolutely wonderful experience. From waking up to the sunrise over Lake Michigan to Poco and Maizie, the cutest dogs ever, it was perfect. Their home is very clean, I had my own room and bathroom and both were quiet and private. Tammy and Scott are fantastic people and they really helped me learn about actually living in Chicago (as opposed to just visiting) and made me feel so welcome from day one. They were kind and inviting, but also gave me space. It was a crazy time for me and this was such a great source of stability. It's easy to find, the location is fab and Lake Michigan is RIGHT THERE. I rented a second room when my family was visiting and it was really nice with its own bath, too. Great people, great space and a great experience.
