We loved the house and the neighborhood. Eileen is very creative, which is apparent with her use of space and updates in this older home. Her home is very inviting and more than enough room for our family of four. We absolutely loved the garden and deck space very beautiful. It's hard to believe you are in the city when you are relaxing on her deck or even her porch as the home is beautifully landscaped. The Metra was right across from her house but as the previous review mentioned not disturbing enough to loose sleep. She left milk,juice,coffee,bagels and muffins for us. She also allowed us to use her bikes which was nice because we were very close to the beach. Riding the bikes to the beach was awesome, we felt like Chicagoans and not visitors. Ride downtown was only 10 minutes. By all means rent THIS HOMEyou will not be dissatisfied.
