Beatrice was a wonderful host, she was very friendly, accommodating, and welcoming to our family of 4! Her place was clean, and the bed and sofa bed were really comfortable. We were grateful for the "extras" provided like coffee, fruit, cereal and milk. Also, it was fantastic to have a washer and dryer to use while we stayed with her. This location is in a lovely neighborhood that is very family friendly, and fairly quiet. There is a park for kids to play at nearby, and a grocery store a short walk away. The train station is about a 10min walk. It was a true "home away from home" scenario, with an excellent host! We loved staying here while we explored all Chicago has to offer!
