Marty and Rob have a gorgeous and welcoming space with original art, live plants, and a modern urban farmhouse aesthetic. They keep the place immaculately clean and offer many comfortable amenities (candy bowls, morning coffee, space for putting away clothes). Their home is just around the corner from Andersonville's cute shops and restaurants. They keep magazines and guide info around if you're not as familiar with the neighborhood or the city, itself. Public transit-wise, their house is easily accessible to the 84 Peterson Bus (Edgebrook Metra to Bryn Mawr Red Line), 22 Clark St bus, and 50 Damon bus. It's about an hour by bus to get down to places like the Loop and West Loop. You could get down to Midway by car, without traffic, in about 30 minutes.
Marty stayed up a little later than he normally does in order to meet me and give me a house tour. He also sent me off with well wishes when I checked out. Their home is a great oasis just north of the city, and I'd stay again.
