Wonderful host--kind and smart. Very welcoming and accommodating. She provided privacy but was super easy to pull into conversation as well. Clean and comfortable room. The space was wonderful, and Kerry's decorating taste seemed to be much like my own back home but taken up a couple of notches to near-perfection. The availability of on-street parking is hit-or-miss, depending on time of day, but that's the nature of a big city like Chicago. The neighborhood seemed very nice.
