Seth and Mike are incredibly accommodating - great communicators and hosts. The space is huge and clean, with eclectic brownstone charm. It's clear that they love taking care of the garden, the back yard and porch are beautiful, lush with plants and a sweet little experience in and of itself after a hot summer day at sunset with a cold drink and a book. Be sure to say hi to the kitties! Both are so sweet and social. I visited as a solo traveler and felt super safe and cared for during my stay. If you are a solo female traveler, though, and venture out for walks or to travel into the city just be sure to keep your spidey senses about you - I didn't feel as safe leaving and walking to the nearby Aldi/Walgreens. I stayed pretty close, though, so maybe it's the neighborhood? It is different once you get on the CTA into the city - the location is really great in terms of proximity to downtown for sight seeing.
