Rick and Ralph's place was better than described. We had full use of the beautiful kitchen and top quality appliances, and we all loved the cappuccino maker! The house was spotless, linens were good quality, the bed was very comfortable, and the spa-quality shampoos, conditioner, etc made us feel like we were in a high end hotel. Shower door was so clean I tried to close it twice only to realize it was already shut.

The media room was a great place to crash at night. There were five of us, and we would have spent well over $300 a night for similar space and parking near downtown, and still not had good muffins or cappuccino.

The neighborhood felt safe, parking was always available close to the front door, and free. We liked the location right off the interstate. Took about 15 minutes for us to get to shops on Michigan Ave in the center of downtown.

Rick wasn't home, but Ralph took good care of us. He made us feel welcome without being intrusive, and was available for directions and questions when we needed him.

We hope to go back again. Only hesitation to recommend is that you might rent their place when we want it! Five stars.
