I stayed with Kate for two nights and overall experience was great! Kate is an awesome host, replies to messages fast, the house is in a nice neighbourhood with great train connections into the city and free parking in the street. The place was very clean and the beds were very comfy. The room is a bit noisy, because it's an old home. You can hear anyone walking, talking or coughing upstairs. I luckily brought earplugs, so I slept like a baby nonetheless. If you're a light sleeper then definitely make sure you have earplugs with you. Overall a great experience and I would certainly rent Kate's room again if I ever get back to Chicago!
