Rebecca is an amazing host. The apartment is on the second floor overlooking an enclosed courtyard. The bedroom is spacious with a luxurious bed, desk, chest of drawers and walk in wardrobe. Two USB chargers were provided on the desk and by he bed. There is also a television but I did not watch it as in the evenings I sat with Rebecca in her lounge and we chatted over supper and wine. We watched a little television together including the Cubs first game of the World Series which would have been better if they had not lost 6-0.
I was in Chicago for a conference at McCormick Place and the Metra train which goes there directly is barely two minutes walk door to door. On Sunday there was a large gap in the train service and Rebecca very kindly drove me to the centre which she did again on the last day to save me carrying my luggage on and off the train. She also demonstrated her seamstress skills meaning my rucksack. She made arrangements for me to get in as my flight arrived quite late in Chicago and coincided with her being out. There are also good washing facilities and the Permapress setting on the tumble dryer meant I did not need to iron anything.
Rebecca is a wonderful lady who provides a great place to stay and a generous welcome into her home.
