Jeff went out of his way to make me feel welcome and make use of his home, and he also respected my space when I wanted privacy. The neighborhood affords wonderful green space, since it sits adjacent to a public golf course and the Forest Preserve with its long, tranquil trails. It's a short walk to the train into the city and the little urban hamlet of Edgebrook has a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant and, even better for me, a far-out ice cream shop serving my favorite Wisconsin brand.
