Staying with Jeannie was perfect. She was welcoming, very easy going with our schedule as artists and extremely accommodating. We woke up to relaxing music playing in the kitchen every morning and I loved relaxing with a book and cup of tea in her beautiful garden. Her place was located about 10 minutes away from the subway which made me feel like I was back in Astoria, New York. The commute was an easy 20 minutes downtown which was very convenient.
I'd stay there again next time I visit Chicago, absolutely.
