This is a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay. I am a very tall man, but I didn't have to worry about low ceilings or low shower heads in this upper-floor location. The furniture is comfortable, and there are classic books like The Hobbit and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. As someone who has worked in libraries for the last 30 years, I appreciated the good books - and the quiet home and area!
The unit was very clean, with a welcoming patio overlooking a spacious back yard. It is a 5-minute walk to the Blue line train, less than 5 to the Northwest Highway bus, and about 10 to the Norwood Park Metra train. Good food is nearby. Brandy's is nearby if you want a gyro, or take a brief walk to Add Chapter cafe for fresh dolmas and remarkably tasty hummus.
It was nice having Netflix and Amazon Prime to unwind with some tv after a long day of visiting old friends or seeing the Chicago sights. There is a writing desk near the front window, good for reflecting.
Erin is quick to respond to questions, and was super helpful.
If you have the opportunity to stay here, I highly recommend it. It is in one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago, and it shows.
My wife and I left a checker/backgammon board for future travelers. I hope to see it in another trip a year or three down the line.
Thank you Erin! Air BnBers, don't sleep on this, sleep in this!
