Overall we enjoyed our stay in Kanan's place. It is ideally located near the Magnificent Mile and lots of great restaurants. The station to catch the train is only a few blocks away as well.
Kanan's home is beautifully decorated and our room on the top floor was comfortably nice with its own very nice bathroom.
If we returned to Chicago we would certainly look to stay there again.
Here is the negative part of my review: we were there the last weekend in June 2018 and it was very hot with high temperatures of 90 and a heat index of over 100. Our first evening there our room was nice and cool. The second evening it seemed a little warmer but was bearable and we just figured with the extreme heat outside that maybe the air conditioning system in such an old home was struggling to keep up. We were out all day the last day we were there and came home that evening to find it very warm in our room. We checked the cooling vent in the bathroom and it was blowing cold air so we assumed it would eventually cool off. We showered and went to sleep. About 3 am my wife and I woke up and found it to be so hot that we were not going to be successful in going back to sleep. The unfortunate thing was that Kanan was out of town for the weekend so there was no one onsite to report our hot accommodations. So we got up and packed our bags and left around 4 am.
We informed Kanan of our situation and she was kind enough to refund us for the final night of our stay. I'm sure it was just our unfortunate luck that the A/C system failed that evening. As we went downstairs it was working fine and was cool on the lower floors.
As stated earlier, I would stay there again if I was to return to Chicago.
