Apartment was everything that was promised, in a beautifully updated space with nice designer touches, wood floors, a porch and private walled flower garden. Anne, our hostess, had thought of everything--including fresh flowers from her garden on the dining room table, and she helped with lots of local suggestions. The neighborhood seemed safe and quiet, with great proximity to public transportation and a direct line to the airport. I am already recommending this lovely retreat to everyone I know with plans to visit the Chicago area.
