My daughter, age 20, and her girlfriend were in Chicago for 5 days for a concert. I found Gabrielle through a friend who uses this website frequently. I was VERY worried about my daughter going all the way to Chicago from Las Vegas on her own and staying in a house with someone I didn't know but after several emails to Gabrielle & her emailing me back & graciously offering to watch over my girls & to be of assistance if they needed for anything, I felt assured that the girls were in good hands.And I was right. The girls said the best part of the trip was staying in Gabrielle's home. They absolutely loved it.My daughter and me are planning a trip to Chicago in the Spring of 2014 and if available, we will be staying with Gabrielle. I will definitely work around the schedule of Gabrielle's to be able to stay in her home.
