Excellent host with great communication. Truly cares about her guests. Joyce is helping to transform an emerging neighborhood west of West Loop which earns 6 stars on Location in my opinion. Made for an affordable stay in Chicago with a car while giving easy access to downtown. The house is well outfitted. We were able to make meals and save some money when not downtown moving our daughter into her residence hall. Plenty of room for a family of 5 to 6. Easy to take surface streets for a straight shot east to downtown. The gated, private parking spot is a huge plus. Very stylish home in a wonderfully diverse neighborhood.
