In a nutshell, for a short-term stay, this place gives value.

A Clue: If you are arriving at this place during night time, look for a small chair in the front yard. The entrance is from the driveway.

The host Janine is cordial. She kept some fruits on the kitchen table and also gave us home-made ice cream. She was willing to help providing information about public transportation. Nighborhood seems to be fine, although we did not walk around. Parking at the place is convenient.

As we wanted to see in Chicago (during 3 night stay) as much as possible, we left the place in the morning and return late night. We did not cook. We did not use patio (if you do, watch kids as the patio does not have protective side-wall/railing).

We chose to drive to Chicago downtown due to flexibility of timings, as an express train for two costs almost the same as parking through 'spothero' app (during off-peak hours, trains are less frequent).

The weather was okay while we were there; so non-availability of A.C. did not cause us much discomfort. The shower area was tiny (I'm only 6ft and 175 lbs), and shower water pressure was very very inadequate. (The host did offer to turn-off all the faucets downstairs while we use shower. We had, however, adjusted rather wanting her to turn-off downstair faucets). Tall people need to be cautious while walking around in the kitchen.

As said at the outset, we focussed more on commute and sight-seeing rather than spending time leisurely at this place. Those who spend more time in this house and walk around the neighborhood may enjoy the place much more.

Best.
