Janine is a very kind host who really wants you to feel welcome and comfortable. I had a month long stay. When I arrived, there was fruit on the table, and several guides to Chicago. As a native, I did not use them, but they would be very useful for visitors. There are also little soaps, shampoo, etc. that are great, especially if you left something and haven't had the chance to grab it yet. She also let me do laundry for no extra cost, which was really nice of her.
The location is close to the Metra, but it does not go all the way to Millennium Station, just so that you know. The last stop is LaSalle, which is downtown, but if you want to get to The Magnificent Mile, there is quite a walk, or you could take a bus from the train station. So, the location wasn't as convenient as I would have liked, but it was doable.
Overall, it was a very comfortable and relaxing experience. I would definitely recommend it! Thanks Janine!
