I can’t say enough good things about my stay with Jane. Jane and Joe were the best hosts. They treated me like I was an old friend coming to visit. There is plenty of separate space and they will maintain that if you want your privacy. But if you want a more personal touch they are available to you to help with anything or answer any questions.
I was staying there on my own for a concert downtown and it turned out they had tickets to the same show! They offered to drive me, which they did, and offered for me to ride back with them, which I did. Jane told me the one night I went out to call her if I needed anything and she’s come get me. She made me feel safe and at home in the city. She and Joe really made my weekend. It was so nice to not come home to an empty room or house.
Jane has put so much effort into every shared and private space. Guests have their own bathroom, which is recently remodeled and very nice and clean. She provides nice fluffy clean towels and a hair dryer and everything you’d need to get clean and feel fresh. The bedroom has all new furniture, new bedding, a pillow for every comfort need, lamps, a great dyson fan I feel in love with, even a dish for jewelry. She’s really thought of everything.
The kitchen is also newly remodeled and there is even space in the fridge to keep your own food. I always had this space to myself when I needed it too.
The living room also has new furniture and is clean and tidy. There is a front sunroom for reading and hanging out. These spaces are mostly private too. Jane and Joe make it a point to give you the space to yourself unless you make it known that you’d enjoy the company. And I certainly did enjoy the company!!
Lincoln Square is my favorite neighborhood in Chicago. It has it all and this house is only a couple blocks away! Great restaurants, bars, a wine bar/coffe shop/bookstore, locally owned toy store, large park, yoga studios, the brown line, which will take you most anywhere and a huge public library; truly something for everyone: families and couples and single folks. So much fun!
I can’t wait to come back with friends for a fun weekend away, as well as with my husband and daughter to meet Jane and Joe.
