Such an awesome stay! The room was exactly as shown. As it is the downstairs of the family home you feel close but have your own space including private bathroom, kitchen and entrance. It is only a 5 minute walk to the blue line which can pretty much get you anywhere you need to go, including directly to O'Hare airport. I only met Brad briefly but he was very friendly and organised an information sheet which was left in my room. As a first time visitor to Chicago this was extremely helpful! I would definitely stay at Brad and Carrie's again if I return to Chicago and highly recommend it!
