This was a wonderful place to stay in a nice neighborhood. Everything was neat and clean. The host provided me with advice on travel, upcoming events, snacks every so often, and her guitar to play. The host was always a phone-call/text/or email away if anything came up. The suite is open, by stairwell, to the host's dining room on the level above, but she was sure to notify me if she needed to grab something from storage in the suite. Overall, this stay could not have made my first visit to Chicago any more pleasant!
