We had a great stay at Kitty's place. She is a wonderful host and her apartment is spacious, clean and on a quiet street. If you have forgotten anything for your trip, she probably has it. Her place is within walking distance of 2 L stations. (about a 15 min walk) and it is about 20 min to downtown Chicago and 30 min to O'Hare on the Blue L line. There is a deck out back which was a good place to enjoy the outdoors.
