I stayed with Jane and Joe for a whole month, while doing research at the Newberry Library. As one of the reviewers here already said, it was like visiting / staying with family friends. This place really became a home away from home for me; a perfect balance between my need for quiet and privacy to unwind after a day in the archives and a company to chat with. Jane and Joe are very welcoming and friendly hosts, who will give you tips for places to see and events to go to in and around the city, transportation, good places to eat and have a drink, or running routes nearby. The room and private bathroom are cozy and clean and you get a full use of the kitchen and the living room as well. The atmosphere of the whole place is relaxed and laid back. If I come back to Chicago in the future, I will definitely try to stay here again.
