We came to Chicago for 4 nights for our daughter’s college graduation. Always wanted to stay in a brownstone! We loved staying at Bills house! It is clearly their home at least part of the time. There is a very peaceful sunroom at the front where I made sure to spend a little time each day. Ton of books in all the rooms. Comfy chairs. Large dining table for anyone that wants to seat a bunch of people (we didn’t). Large table/desk in each bedroom to lay stuff out (usually this doesn’t exist). Big refrigerator & lots of dishes. Chicago was freezing when we were there & the heater warmed us quickly. Nice size washer/dryer. Lots of cleaning supplies. We walked several times to Andersonville for great food/drink. Found parking easily on the street. Even on the weekend.
Only negatives: 1) The closets weren’t conducive for hanging so we used the front entry closet. 2) Shower water pressure wasn’t very strong; 3) no blinds on some of the windows (other areas not bedrooms) so people can see in - consider wearing something that covers you up. That’s it! The place is older so it does have the expected wear.
We really did enjoy our stay. Made the graduation trip special. Extra treat: wild bunnies live in the area that came out at night.
