Steve was really friendly and welcoming, Alan and I both felt immediately at home and comfortable in his lovely brownstone in the heart of Lincoln Park. The house is central to a great selection of restaurants, bars and shops. The streets are tree lined with gardens everywhere, it felt very safe and we walked all around the area at different times of day and night.
We Uber'd, very cheaply, to all the main sites like the Field, the Zoo, the lake and Michigan Avenue. Our loft room was very clean, full of sunlight and well appointed, shower, (with loads of towels), kitchen, TV and WiFi. The bed was so comfy we are buying one for our guest cabin! It was lovely to wake up in the morning with the birds singing in the trees outside and have our breakfast on the huge deck with a panoramic view of the downtown skyline and the Sears tower. Steve is a fountain of knowledge on the history of the area, the best restaurants and things to do. We will definitely be back to stay with Steve again, and hope he takes us up on our invite to Joshua Tree in the near future.
