We stayed with Eduardo and Lois while in town for our daughter’s wedding. We know we need look no further for accommodations in Chicago! We adored our charming hosts and their beautiful home. Here are some of the many reasons:

*Location* We enjoyed Rogers Park and felt at ease walking through the neighborhoods.

*The house* The house is as lovely as shown, filled with art and interesting books. We were invited to enjoy the common living areas. We adored the rich colors and antique charms of the home, though Eduardo was quick to warn us that it *is* a very old house—as the creaky floors and hard-to-close doors will attest. I personally loved the combination of antique and modern. It was a little disconcerting not being able to sneak in after late-night wedding gatherings (everything squeaks), but I think the hosts are used to it and I eventually got used to it, too. It’s a house with personality!

*Guest comforts* I’ve not often come across so many thoughtful touches in a guest accommodation, for any price. Two sets of fluffy high-quality towels, bottled water, some snacks, an eye mask and earplugs, and other welcoming niceties were artfully arranged in baskets in our room. Hanging and drawer space was provided. Everything I saw in the house, including inside closets, was sparkling clean and wonderfully orderly. Our hosts thought of pretty much everything and urged us to let them know if there was anything else we might require. There wasn’t.

*The price* Eduardo and Lois’ rates are reasonable. Yes, we shared a bath with strangers (a half-bath is available downstairs). Yes, the place is old and things squeak, but we so enjoyed Eduardo and Lois and their home, we didn’t worry about that stuff one bit.

*The bed* Oh, my heavens, we had no idea what a treat we were in for. We both slept so well, we woke up feeling like new people, having barely moved all night long! Eduardo explained that the mattress is a Tempur-Pedic. Once they tried one, he said, they wondered why they waited so long to switch. Now, we’re wondering the same thing. Wow. Top it off with gorgeous, top-quality designer linens and pillows and you’ve got a pretty magical night of sleep.

*Superb hosts* I’ll end with the best feature of all. As mentioned above, Eduardo and Lois are the warmest, dearest folks ever. They’re extremely generous with ideas, as they love their town and are excited to share it. We were not able to take nearly enough advantage of their expertise. Our only regret about our stay was not having enough time with these two charming people!

Now that I’ve spilled the beans, I am a little worried they'll be so booked up it’ll be hard to get in again. Ah, well, this is a home I’d love to see brimming with delightful, happy guests, because I think that is what Eduardo and Lois would like most of all.

May it be so!
