Patricia and Jamie were very warm and welcoming. It was a pleasure to stay in their beautiful home and lovely neighbourhood. The dogs are good fun and the room itself was as described and extremely comfortable (with a/c and fan so cool on hot summer days). I enjoyed yummy granola, fresh fruit and tea every morning and Patricia was really helpful in suggesting local cafes, interesting things to do in the city, etc. If there was anything I needed, Patricia was on hand to help. The apartment is great, very close to the University of Chicago, and is a short, convenient bus ride into town. Overall, a very relaxing and pleasant stay. I would definitely stay here again on future trips.
