Barbara was an excellent host and contributed significantly to a fantastic experience at her place. She was very receptive and always replied promptly useful information. She puts a lot of care and detail into every part of the hosting and, when we asked for a couple favors that went well beyond what she was expected to provide, she had no problem in helping us through. The place is small but cozy and cute and it's kept remarkably clean and tidy. It is also located in one of the best spots in Chicago. I would definitely come back and recommend it.
