I stayed at Richard & Cathy's guest house annex for one week.
It is a beautiful place located in quiet, safe area to the north of Chicago near Andersonville & Rogers Park. It is very clean and well kept with modern appliances and fixtures. The bed is comfortable and clean.
This place would suit a quiet solo traveller or couple who would prefer to stay away from the noisy hustle & bustle of Downtown Chicago. It's about a 1/2 mile walk to Granville Train Station, which can take you Downtown and the Clark St bus is just three blocks away which will take you past Wrigley Field for.the baseball and then into Downtown.
Communication with Richard & Cathy was very good prior to my arrival and continued during my stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate me. I arrived on a flight into Chicago late at night and before I booked, I asked about how late a check-in I could have. Richard waited up for me when I arrived just after midnight to let me in. He had the fridge stocked with breakfast items to help me settle. Above and beyond.
Richard noticed the front door key wasn't going into the lock all that well. It didn't bother me, but he fixed it pronto. Again, above and beyond.
I recommend the guest house to travellers looking for a quiet place to stay.
I enjoyed it and will definitely look it up to stay there again if I make it to Chicago ever again. Next time, I'll try to find time to have a cup of tea and a chat with Richard.
Thanks :)
