Alex and Jenn provided all of the comforts of home for my weekend trip to Chicago. The courtyard and building are so quaint in a neighborhood of similar brick homes/apartments. Yet only a block away are shops, a great mix of restaurants plus bus and train stops. It was the perfect respite while I attended a weekend class at the Chicago Mosaic School (only 2 blocks away). The room has a comfy bed and linens in a warm, welcoming and cozy atmosphere; great to have a private bath as well. Check-in was flexible and they provided easy access to their secured building. Jenn and Alex are great hosts, even inviting me to join their friends one evening, but alas I had other plans.
