We took Amtrak trip from IN to PNW & Glacier. On way home we decided at last minute to spend night in Chicago. We found Adams place, liked the area & contacted him. He was open to last minute booking & flexible. We hopped in UBER & buzzed up from Union Station for $14+Tip, dropped off bags & went in search of dinner. We walked a few blocks to Montrose & discovered The Reservoir. It was terrific! You can read our review on Yelp. We walked back thru mixed use streets to Adam's place to find him home, yakked a bit & went up to our room & settled in. It's our personal preference to sleep in a king bed w/lots of fluffy pillows as I have a muscular disease so a couple options for pillows would be nice. We're an older couple, early retirees busy fulfilling bucket list dreams-definitely not nitpickers. We slept as well as we usually do when not at home & room was quiet. In morning we enjoyed flexibility of Adam's home having a door lock with number pad as we were able to head out again in search of large quantities of coffee & food which we found @Everybody's Coffee. It was a great place, giant cups of fresh roasted coffee & good breakfast options. We walked back to Adam's & on our way we had a treat! There's a senior citizens building just couple doors down from Adam's. We saw a man surrounded by older women & they were buying fresh baked HUGE loaves of bread from his car. We bought a loaf of multigrain & 1 rye. Great bread @$2.50each. We got to Adam's & changed shoes, grabbed our bags & took Uber back for $13.25+tip & awaited departure on The Cardinal train to Indianapolis. We had a terrific time in Chicago, Adam was a good host & we loved his Smart home & neighborhood. His description of his home is detailed & accurate so you know what you're getting. Thank you Adam!

P.S. if you're in his neck of the woods & it's a Tuesday, head to The Reservoir for their bottomless plate of macncheese. It is delish!
