Richard and Cathy were the perfect hosts with an amazing guesthouse. My wife and I had such a fantastic week in Chicago and would entirely recommend staying at the Ravenswood guesthouse.
It was our first time in Chicago and the location was perfect for getting into downtown, wandering around local stores and also having some great days at the beach. For everything we wanted to do, the place was ideal.
The actual guesthouse was fantastic. Excellent facilities, felt at home straight away and chose to stay in a few times as it was such a relaxing place to hang out. Richard and Cathy were amazing hosts who were available to talk to about recommendations, any issues or just for a lovely chat in the garden. Their garden is beautiful and we were welcomed to use it at our leisure, we spent a short time with their family and they were extremely warm and welcoming. It was a brilliant week.
We also used Richard's bicycles and they were amazing for seeing the city in a different way. Chicago was much more bike friendly than I expected and riding to the lake was a real highlight. Richard and Cathy were generous with their time and went out of their way to ensure that our week was as good as it could be and we really appreciated their hospitality.
I can honestly say we would return to Chicago and to Richard and Cathy's place in the blink of an eye. We had an amazing week and can't thank them enough. We wouldn't have had half as much fun if we were staying in some downtown hotel.
