I loved everything about my stay at Carin's home! She is not only outstanding hostess, but a lady with multiple interests and can provide information for multiple artistic, cultural and outdoor events happening in the area!
Two of the things I did in Chicago and became my favorites were a drive up north along the lake and seeing "I Puritani" by Bellini in the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Both wouldn't happen, if I wasn't staying with Carin. I can't recommend her strongly enough!
