Caryl and Philippe were attentive and accommodating hosts and pleased to share information about their neighbourhood. Their lovely home was situated in the University of Chicago neighbourhood and close to all amenities and public transportation. It takes about 45mins using public transportation to get to downtown Chicago from their home. Parking was on the street...it was free, available and safe. We stayed in the 2nd story Blue Room which was spacious and very comfortable for our 4 night stay. It had access to an outdoor deck and lots of windows looking on to the trees. Our room had all amenities at hand. Breakfasts were tasty and we enjoyed engaging with our hosts and fellow guests. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience staying with Caryl and Philippe in their lovely home.
