There is a word used by the Danish to describe feelings of coziness, friendliness, and warmth. While "hygge" often includes feelings of companionship, I use it here to conjure the experience of being welcome in a most lovely, tidy, and "cozy" place (and "cozy" here is not code for tiny). Staying in Lynn's ground floor airbnb was perfect for me. I visited Chicago to attend a conference, which unfortunately did not turn out as planned. However, I had the space and warmth of Lynn's airbnb to do some work, settle in, and experience hygge during the first snow of the season in the Windy City. I can't say enough good things about Lynn, who gave me the space I needed while also being extremely attentive. And of course the place itself was clean, spacious, comfortable - everything a girl could ask for.
