I came down with a bad case of the flu the night before my trip to Chicago and ended up missing my flight. My parents, who had planned to meet me in Chicago and stay with me, were potentially out of a place to stay. Meighan, however, was kind enough to keep my reservation and accommodate my parents.

My parents reported back that they had a great stay, and that Meighan and her family were outstanding hosts, who were warm and friendly and welcomed them to Chicago by orienting them to public transportation and providing them with great information about the city. They even lent my dad a belt for him to wear to a wedding on one of the evenings he was there! I'm very grateful to Meighan and her family and would certainly recommend them as hosts.
