Greg was on point. He answered right away, gave easy instructions and was there to welcome us when we arrived, to give us a tour of the house and guide us to his favorite eating spot.

Now, the listing does not give full justice to the gem of a house we were able to stay in. If you like a home with character and objects with a soul, add some lovely ash coated friendly chickens and a safe haven for bees in the yard... then you are in for a treat!

The neighborhood is laidback and charming, close the U of C, the Robie House (if you are into architecture!) and public transport (the Metra a few blocks down the road of foot). Lake Michigan is right there, so you can stroll around and watch the sunset on Promontory Point. It is about 25 minutes to get to Millenium Park Downtown. So overall a great central location and there's always Uber to get you places as well.

We thank Greg for his hospitality and we highly recommend his house as an option for anyone who wants to stay in a home with artistic flair and a down-to-earth host.
