Good location, available street parking, private bedroom, separate entrance.

I had a Friday meeting in the Wicker Park area and this was great for my one-night stay. I happened to arrive just when Brad was walking home with the kids from school, so he actually ran inside and opened the door for me and showed me around a bit. His graphic design office operates out of the garden-level of their house, and that's where the private bedroom is for your stay. There is a bathroom across the hall from the bedroom, a kitchenette on one end and a sitting area on the other end. Brad's main office and desk is in the open middle area.

Brad did run downstairs maybe a couple times to access the phone and computer for his work. His painting studio is in the small room next to the bedroom, but he did not seem to access that during my stay. So I basically had the place to myself.

I ended up having a bit of a migraine, so I mostly just rested and slept in the bedroom which was dark and fairly quiet (great for migraines)! Not too much noise from the upstairs activities. The bedroom is not spacious but was perfect for my needs. Had a good closet for laying out a few items, great reading lamps and a comfy bed with clean linens.

I grabbed takeout dinner from a great Cuban restaurant just around the corner that I walked to in about 2 minutes. I made a cup of tea from some of the tea that was provided in the kitchen. Looks like the kitchen has lots of utensils for making some simple meals on the stovetop if you want (oven does not work). I ate my dinner at the dining table, called it a night and was perfectly happy!

I was not able to get the AppleTV to work, but that may have been because of a software update that seemed to be going on. I am guessing Brad and Carrie would have helped me re-boot it, but it was not a big deal. I was able to access the WIFI and work on my computer for a few things.

Bathroom was overall tidy and clean towels were available in the bedroom.

Since I was not feeling very well, I really appreciated the privacy. When I closed the bedroom door, I really felt like I could just rest and be comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!
