Jeannie is a welcoming and accommodating host. Her lovely home is just as she described, and she provides extras that make you feel right at home. Her place is roomy, very clean and well appointed. The bed was very comfortable! Jeannie provides coffee or tea in the mornings and a cute breakfast nook overlooking her gardens. Since I was visiting family in Chicago, I was gone early and all day during my stay, but I made sure to take time for a tour of Jeannie's remarkable gardens and for visiting with this interesting host. Her dog Easton is a real sweetheart as well. The neighborhood is safe, convenient and very nice. Parking was great, which is a real bonus in Chicago. Jeannie's home and gardens are a peaceful oasis in the busy city and I will stay with her again when I return to Chicago.
