This well-appointed and uniquely designed lodging was a wonderful home for our multi-day stay in Chicago. Richard's communications were timely and perfectly clear for our late-night arrival. The apartment is spacious, charming, so clean and inviting – and filled with decor and collectibles that entertained us as we discovered each new visual treat related to the tropical theme – a "Tiki Room" atmosphere in snowy Chi-Town! Lovely bedroom, comfortable bed, spacious living room and exercise room, all sparkling clean. Great laundry facilities as well. I was happy to find a "real" steam iron (not plastic!) to freshen up our clothing. We chose it to be within walking distance of our daughter's home. It's a short, safe walk to a variety of eateries, pharmacy, bookstores and other businesses. Car services easily located us and it is close to O'Hare, bus stops and train service. I hope to return in warm weather to enjoy Richard's lovely landscaping in its full glory. Thanks, Richard!
