I have stayed at Richard & Cathy's place several times now when visiting family in Chicago. (which should tell you all you need to know about this listing and host!) The location is safe & quiet. On-street parking is available on the street or just around the corner. The space is bright and sunny with all the adequate amenities -- wifi, stocked kitchen and bath, comfy beds, and workspace. Richard and Cathy are thoughtful hosts. They are careful to provide a welcoming and relaxing stay and are ALWAYS excellent and prompt in communicating with me. Each time I visit the city, this is the first location I check for availability.
