I spent a little over a week with Don and Eileen and thoroughly enjoyed my time!
Don, Eileen (and Mary) were great hosts! They did everything to make you feel at home.
The apartment is very nice, large, clean, and has everything you need (even a washer and dryer, which is handy for an extended stay). The neighborhood is great and I felt very safe even as a woman traveling alone in the evening or early morning. It is extremely convenient that the nearest Brown Line stop is only three minutes away. This makes it very easy to get around Chicago.
The internet works well and without problems for those who want to work from the apartment as well. Since the apartment and the apartment of Eileen and Don are not separated by a door, you can hear each other, but this did not bother me personally.
The communication before arrival worked very well and they were very flexible about arrival, which I found very convenient.
I really enjoyed meeting Eileen and Don and appreciated the friendliness and their accommodating nature. I felt very welcome. I can fully recommend staying with Eileen and Don! If I were to come to Chicago again, I would definitely want to stay with them again!
