The space is just as advertised, and great! But what really makes it a 5 star experience is William's hospitality. When we arrived on a holiday weekend, he offered to let us park in the driveway behind the gate since his neighbor was out of town. Street parking was plentiful, and didn't seem problematic, but it was a nice extra.
He gave us a thorough tour of the space, an overview of the neighborhood, public transportation, and a quick sketch of directions to food, and the major destination of our stay. There was free bottled water, pizza, ramen, coffee, and takeout menus. Also, for the first time ever in my travels, there was shampoo/conditioner for curly/natural hair in the bathroom! As a black woman, that really put it over the top, to be honest.
Thanks for a great stay William, and I'll definitely think about booking this space for our next trip to Chicago.
