Everything about our stay with Lois and Eduardo was fantastic. The house itself is gorgeous and beautifully decorated throughout, the room was spacious, had a lovely ceiling fan so that we mostly didn't even use the air conditioner even on hot nights, and our host and hostess were relaxed but sociable.

The location of the house is also terrific... about 2 blocks from beautiful, clean, uncrowded beaches with views of the Chicago skyline, and an easy walk to dozens of restaurants from home style taquerias to Korean, Indian, European, and a full range of American style places from fast food to elegant dining. It was also an easy walk to the train station. The neighborhood was quiet and very safe, even late at night. Street parking was free, often available right in front of the house.

You should be aware that Lois and Eduardo rent several rooms, so you will most likely also meet other travelers and share the one full and one half bathroom. For us, this was a plus since the other guests were fun to meet and chat with. We often had bagels and tea (provided) on the deck together with other guests in the morning and light, easy conversation.

Unlike some AirBnB places, this is really run like a true B&B experience... little amenities like a few snacks in the room, quality linens, firm but comfy mattresses, and the warm, convivial genuineness of the hosts really made this feel far more elegant than even an expensive hotel, for a fraction of the price. Lois & Eduardo clearly love meeting people and will show real interest in you with zero pressure or "hovering".

In short, if you want to stay in Northern Chicago you will not find a more perfect neighborhood or more perfect house than this one. My daughter and I absolutely loved it, and it would be equally suitable for a romantic couple's getaway or traveling friends.
