Betsy and Gerhard are the best hosts I have experienced. They are friendly, accommodating, and reliable. Their thoughtful planning included details to access their fast wifi, suggestions of local businesses to visit, leaflets on area attractions, and a guide for the myriad of tv channels that come in over antenna. The location of their place was perfect for me since it is close to CTA buses and the Red Line and an easy walk to some amazing shops and restaurants around Foster and Clark. The place itself is so nice I had to pinch myself. Comfortable bed with nice linens. Full closet and dresser. Shower with plenty of space and great water pressure. Fridge, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. That beautiful closed-in porch to kick back in with coffee before starting the day. Prints and floral decorations that make it feel more like a home than a temporary place to stay. Comfy couch in the main room to relax and watch tv at night. I really appreciated the suite having a keypad for entry, much more convenient than a key. I will be hoping that this place will be available for booking next time I visit Chicago.
