Jeannie made me feel very welcome, she gives you a lot of space to do your own thing and she lets you use her house as if it's your own. Her yard is worth the price of admission alone and her house and neighborhood are in a very beautiful area that is great to walk around. Public transportation and shopping plazas are close by as well as the city bike docking stations which I used very liberally to scoot around town. A bus to wrigley field is up the block and its a short train ride into the loop from her house. Her dog is a very special guy whom I miss greatly and Jeannie is a really kind, generous, helpful and peaceful person to be around. I would absolutely atay with her again if I come back to Chicago!
