Marissa and Nathan's place is a Chicago gem. The interior of the home is really welcoming and lovely, and it is incredible spacious with kitchen, dining nook, living room, bedroom and bathroom areas! The neighborhood is very safe and friendly, I felt very comfortable there personally as well as for the safety of my parked motorcycle. Nathan was very hospitable in greeting me when I arrived, and I really appreciated this touch. This is a great place to bring your own food to and eat in at, with all the creature comforts of your own home in the kitchen and dining areas. Nathan and Marissa recommended a breakfast place in their Chicago guidebook called, Lula, which I would recommend going to. At Lula I had a wonderful Genmaicha Green Tea and the Spicy Peanut Noodle for breakfast, and it was one of the most fragrant and delightful eating experiences I have ever had! Getting to downtown Chicago took me about 11 minutes on my motorcycle via I-90, and it was a convenient trip.
