We enjoyed staying at Janine's place. We were greeted with a cake and wine. The place is very cosy, in an old Chicago suburb with old trees all around like in a park. There is a balcony under a big spruce, which gives a stong touch of nature. The only issue is the public transport - the train is a walking distance away, but if you plan very early trips or late weekend returns, then you should plan it carefully. Otherwise enjoy a very friendly, active engaging!
