Nicky made us feel right at home including thoughtful assistance upon our early arrival. The listing description was accurate and the living space was most inviting with flowers in every room and fresh eggs to use for breakfast. Her farm was a rural oasis filled with flowers, a vast garden and country animals including pigs, chickens and goats. As neighbors passed by, the children called to the goats and the adults expressed their admiration of the beauty.

It was a quick 4 block walk to the Kedzie L station and a 2 block walk to the Metra stop. The neighborhood was friendly and relatively quiet for a busy inner-city location. We felt most comfortable taking a cab when we returned late at night.
