It was so pleasant arriving at Bennett's and Jo-Lin's house after a long journey.
Communication and check-in were very easy, Jo-LIn's welcome friendly and supporting. The room is very inviting, calm and super-clean. All neccessary items are provided and it was no problem to prepare breakfast and a small dinner in the family's kitchen.
Transit to downtown with public transport is easily done by bus and takes around 45 minutes. The lakeshore is within walking distance (20 min.). Eateries, book stores and groceries can be reached within 2 - 15 min.
I felt welcome, comfortable and safe during my stay and I would choose this accommodation again, if I visited Chicago a second time.
