Richard made us feel very welcome when he met us. He toured us around the apt., providing all the needed information, plus lots of valuable written information about Edgewater and Andersonville neighborhood restaurants, bars, grocers, and more. The apt. is very comfortable and spacious, located on the ground floor of Richard and Cathy's home, but fully separated from the house with a separate entrance. It is nicely and simply furnished and contains a living room (big wall-mounted flat screen TV), light-filled, well-provisioned kitchen, bedroom, office space containing a large desk area and an extra bed (single), and bathroom with a decent size shower and small sink. The layout is open with the bedroom mainly walled off, but not fully, having no separate door. The apt. is not lavish, but cozy and comfortable, containing everything we needed and wanted. Richard and Cathy also have a lovely vegetable garden that is accessible to guests. Even so late in the season we could pick cherry tomatoes. In addition, they provided a Chicago Transit Ventra card for trains and buses (you refill at the end), various brochures (architecture river tours, etc.), maps, and at least one Chicago guide book. Richard was very accessible by text, phone and email. Hope to visit and stay here again. Loved the apt. and the neighborhood. Thank you to Richard and Cathy!
