Nick was very hospitable. We arrived early for check in and he was able to receive us earlier than expected. We all (4 girls) felt very safe and we learned quite a bit from Nick about Chicago. He gave us doughnuts and muffins in the mornings. I was not expecting that... I love pastries!! I drove out there from Nebraska and felt comfortable leaving my car parked in the street and using the metro to get around. Which was cheaper than driving everywhere. You can walk to the metro station a few blocks away as well as Wrigley field. I went to a concert at the United Center and was able to ride the bus from the stop there all the way to a store on Addison just a few blocks away too. All in all it was a great experience. Everything from the guest room to the man cave was great. His two dogs were very cute and friendly as well!
