I had a very lovely stay at Betsy and Gerhard's beautiful home in Andersonville. It was extremely clean, very comfortable and well-furnished, and had everything I needed for a week-long stay. There are lots of extra blankets and pillows, very high-speed internet, a great hot shower with wonderful water pressure, and lots of towels. It comes with a large fridge, coffee maker, and microwave and toaster, but note that there is no stove. This is not a problem for me as I don't like to cook. It also has a great porch/enclosed balcony. I loved having coffee on the peaceful porch in the mornings. It is a very short walk to a TON of different restaurants (about 5 - 7 minute walk to Clark Street), and also very close to a large grocery store and Dunkin' Donuts. The neighborhood is one that I am very familiar with from my years of living in Chicago, and I can say that it is one of the best neighborhoods in the country, hands-down. There is SO MUCH to do! It is also very close to several bus lines, and about a 15 - 20 minute walk to the red line El station. Finally, Betsy and Gerhard are incredibly kind and helpful and were so nice to meet and speak with. The home has a lot of history, and if you are an architecture buff, I think you'll love this home even more. There is NO DOUBT that I will return here next time I am in Chicago. Highly recommended, AWESOME stay!!
