Kerry is such an incredibly warm and welcoming host. She made our stay memorable in so many ways. She anticipated our needs before we even realized we needed the extra help, e.g. she offered us the use of a CTA card and provided extra details before our trip about possible routes/ways to get to the places we needed to visit for college visits. And she even kept a pot of coffee on the ready. All I had to do was turn the machine on. I wish there were more ways to repay Kerry for her kindness. And her house, oh my goodness, so tastefully decorated with so many little amenities within quick reach! She has such a lovely eye for detail. I'm in love with her condo! <3 Plus, I must add that Kerry kept us very comfortable in the summer heat. The house was always well-lighted, cool, and comfortable. One bedroom has a comfy queen sized bed while the other has a twin sized daybed (which I personally love and slept well in). Kerry had plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets, etc. available as well. The bathroom is just off the hallway, close to the rooms, and very clean and tastefully appointed like the rest of her beautiful home.
Thanks again, dear Kerry. We are so appreciative of everything you did to make this visit extra special.
For guests, who like us, don't plan to drive on their visit to Chicago, the CTA bus (for e.g. #93 to Evanston) stops in front of Au Bon Pain, just a leisurely 10-15 min walk from Kerry's home. Although we did not take the train, I believe the train stop is very close too (Kerry offers very detailed directions). Uber/Lyft drivers always stop right in front of her home.
You will want to be mindful that her home is only accessible via a 2-level staircase.
