Nick and his wife, Callie were absolutely wonderful hosts!
Our wonderful experience started before we even arrived. Nick communicated with us frequently prior to our check in since we were driving across country and weren’t sure exactly when we’d arrive. Once there we saw that the space was exactly as pictured. Nick gave us a tour of all the spaces we’d have access to including the garage with the bikes and the kitchenette which was already stocked with snacks.
We loved the comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom. Everything was nice and clean when we arrived and the housekeeper came once during our visit and when we returned everything looked exactly as it had when we first arrived. It was great!
Nick and Callie had a ton of great suggestions for places to eat and things to see and do. You could hang out solely in this neighborhood and have a fantastic time. We walked to delicious restaurants and bikes all over the city. This location was perfect for us. We walked a couple blocks to a Brunch Bar called “Kitsch’n on Roscoe” where they have an array of vegetarian, vegan AND meat options for breakfast. Once we were there admiring the versatile menu we realized it was one of the places Nick recommended. Definitely, listen to his recommendations so you don’t miss out. Also, they suggested Lou Malnati’s for real Chicago deep dish pizza when some of our friends had suggested Giordano’s. Nick, Callie and their friends were adamant that Giordano’s had fallen off since they franchised and implored us to go to Lou’s. It was closer and I remembered that he’d recommended Kitsch’n so we headed there instead. It was one of the best decisions we made on our trip, second to choosing Nick’s place for our stay of course.
One morning Nick saved us about an hour of time of public transportation and walking by dropping us off at the Museum of Science and Industry on his way into the office. We were super grateful! We absolutely loved our stay and will certainly stay again next year when we come to Chicago.
