Don and his wife welcomed me with a meal and right away we got to talking. They made sure I got to the house safely. It was lovely, over the weeks we had several meals together. They lived above and we shared the cubs wins together. We connected over art and music and Ireland.

The room was clean. I had the whole unit to myself with a couch, TV, clean bathroom, microwave, toaster oven, coffeemaker, and all other amenities. The house is located conveniently 5 minute walk away from a brown line train station. There is food all around the neighborhood. It is a very safe, family friendly neighborhood. I enjoyed the access to the city the train gave me. It was amazing to go into the city for a walk using the train. Don and Eileen went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. They are good hosts. And, I would go stay with them if I am in Chicago next. It was a good experience.
