Anne's apartment was clean and open. She had a magazine rack with lots of pamphlets and magazines on fun things to do in Chicago. She left us a welcome basket with a few food items (including a lovely bottle of wine) and some items to know while staying there, and she provided enough bathrobes for everyone. She was in contact with me about checking in. Because we were going to arrive later than the normal check in time, she wasn't going to be there, so she left detailed instructions on how to get in. When she came back, she was happy to talk with us about our trip, our lives, and our plans, but also what she loves about Chicago and especially her neighborhood. She clearly loves getting to know people, and we felt very welcome in her home. We stayed here in the summer, and her back yard was a beautiful place to hang out!
