Stayed with Kathleen when we were in town for an anniversary party. Overall our 3 night stay was GREAT! We are a family of 5 with 3 small children a 5 yr old, 2yr old and 2month old. There was a park in walking distance. Many options for food. Check in was pretty easy, her communication is great. Access to the train is perfect. Parking was... Chicago parking if you find a space you find it but mostly it was good...there was a block party so we had to move our car and that was hard but not Kathleen's fault and she let us know about it as soon as we arrived and offered us some suggestions. Any issues that arose which weren't many were quickly handled. She provides so much to her guest. It's a basement so there were a few bugs ..but overall a comfortable stay and we would stay again.
