I LOVED staying at the Urban Art Retreat!! Dianna's devotion to the arts is evident everywhere, from the yard full of sculptures and paintings to the profusion of pieces scattered about the residence to the creative names and decor of each room. Dianna made me feel welcome and safe, and the retreat's location in a real Chicago neighborhood was a plus for me. I came home from the "L" (light rail) station after midnight each night and didn't have any problem. This is not a place for those who are looking for luxury, but those who appreciate authenticity of purpose will feel very much at home.
