This is a lovely house, with lots of space, lots of beds, a nice kitchen. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. We had an extended family of ten staying here, and there was plenty of space for us all.

I slept in the top front bedroom. The house is on a busy street where construction had recently left a dip in the road. Trucks rumbled by at all hours of the day and night, making a crashing noise as they went over the dip, and making my bed shake, waking me up multiple times a night. I think I had the only bed in the house that did this -- other family members were in rooms that were much quieter and had non-shakey beds.

The beds in the house varied from very soft to very firm, so if you stay here you may want to try a few beds to find the one that suits you best.

The kitchen had plenty of everything -- dishes, cooking equipment, even containers for leftovers. There are several grocery stores nearby -- a longish walk from the house, or a very short drive.

Several bus lines go right by the house. It took about 45-60 minutes by public transit to reach the Chicago sights that we wanted to see.

The house has a two-car garage. Fitting my minivan into the garage took some care, but it was do-able.

There is a big back porch with lots of chairs. We liked being able to sit out on it.

The house was spotlessly clean and seemed very well cared for. I recommend it and would stay there again.
