I enjoyed my time in David and Carolyn's lovely home on my whirlwind trip to Chicago to enjoy art exhibits, a musical at the Lyric Opera (Fiddler) and the extra plus of touring and helping out a bit with their urban farm. My room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. For the house's location and the number of people living in the 3-story home, it was amazingly quiet and peaceful while I was there. The shared bathroom with shower was right next to my room, and it was always available when I needed it (if not, there is an extra half-bath just down the stairs). Roomy kitchen with bountiful breakfast pastries and fruit, eggs, tea kettle, microwave, air fryer and gas stovetop guests could use. Bonus communal food in the fridge, too.
Made friends with Jack the dog and Pumpkin the cat (Sophie the rat terrier was in training, so not as much interaction). Had my own house key to go in and out as I wished. I recommend packing jeans and boots, as I did, to see the hens and goats who live in the converted garage and chicken coop in the backyard full of flowers and plants. Everyone takes shoes off when entering the house, keeping the inlaid wooden floor and stairs clean. Charming house, with stained glass windows in the stairway.
If you're comfortable being part of a household with interesting, diverse residents as well as your hosts, who are busy running a small, urban farm that is also an important and giving resource for the neighborhood, you'll love it as I did. I hope to return soon.
