How can you describe this place?? Words do not do it justice. I will try. First is location, location, location!! Near the Red Line train so EVERYTHING/ PLACE is accessible. We went all over Chicago.
Next and the best is Oliver. So kind and considerate. Extremely accommodating. His hospitality is above and beyond what you would expect. It's like coming to visit family and being treated as such.
Lastly and most certainly is his space. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The art in his place is outstanding and the books, oh my...the books are just as wonderful! My favorite thing to do was make a cup of coffee in the morning and sit in the front room with the morning light and peruse through his unbelievable collection. It was a great way to start of the day.
I have to say something about the beds as mundane as that sounds. For me the bed is very important. It needs to comfortable, have soft sheets and be dark. His beds were all three!!! I had wonderful sleep the entire stay, never waking up with a back ache or feeling tired.
I would come back in a NY, no scratch that, a Chicago minute!!!
