Anne is very hospitable and helpful, and her home is lovely and comfortable. Her guest space is in the basement, but it was bright and spacious. She made me feel very welcome in using the kitchen and other living space on the first floor, plus always had coffee and some basic breakfast fixings. Her place is really convenient to bus and train transportation, and there are lots of restaurants, breweries etc.. within a 20 minute walk. Note that you 'll want to use shared or scheduled rides for airport transportation as that is not convenient for public transit, but cost is $30-$40 which isn't bad. This was my first time exploring more of the neighborhoods of Chicago, rather than downtown, and I cant wait to come back. I'd love to return to Anne's place.
