Erika was warm and over-extended herself to make sure our arrival and our visit were handled smoothly. She had treats for the kids and a hand-written list of useful facts and info about nearby festivals. She and Danny gave us maximum privacy during our stay. The house is LARGE and accommodating for family groups who want more than just In The Loop Chicago. We found it very easy to access public xport on buses at the corner or with a 15 minute walk to two L trains (blue and pink). However, the house is under construction. The flooring, the trim, the stairway, the lighting and wiring are all being upgraded or installed. This presents some issues for guests and cause some problems when moving around the house at night (shower downstairs, tilting stairs with no railing to get there; light switches with no plates that don't turn on anything; missing doorknob at back of house) or using the kitchen (no microwave, toaster or coffeemaker). These are minor issues and time (plus DIY skills) will probably attend to all of them. The hosts are the nicest people and their little street is a quiet place to launch from when exploring outside the Loop.
