We had a really great time in Chicago and staying at Tripp and Todd’s place was a pleasure. Their place is conveniently located near the Red Line, which made it easy to get to and from the major attractions. We mainly interacted with Todd, who was extremely nice and friendly. He set up a beautiful continental breakfast every morning and gave us tips about the different attractions and transportation (as well as umbrellas when it was raining). The lower level was all ours, with my son sleeping on the very comfy sofa bed in the living room area, and me in the very comfy bed in the bedroom. We had a coffee machine with assortments of coffees and tees, a refrigerator and a microwave. All in all it was a great place to stay, however, there were a few drawbacks:

1.Bathroom was beautiful but had no counter space at all to put our things, or a place for bath towels. There was a chair by the bathtub that helped a little. The bathtub was a freestanding tub with a shower head above it and shower curtains hanging inside the tub. Getting in and out of the tub was kind of awkward, and trying to avoid the shower curtains getting stuck to our arms was challenging (and we’re both slim people).

2.The air condition was very loud and strong. The thermostat for the lower and main levels is in the main level, which was warmer than the lower level so the AC was cooling off the lower level much more than needed. They gave us space heaters to compensate for that, but there was nothing they could do about the noise.

Thank you Todd and Tripp for sharing your beautiful home with us.
