Who voluntarily visits Chicago in the middle of January? This gal (points at self). My daughter decided a long time ago to go to school in Chicago, and move-in was set during the brutal winter. Although we normally stay at a hotel, I wanted something a little more home-like and with tons more room.
Walking into Ross's AirBnb after arriving at O'Hare was like walking into a desert oasis. It was warm, bright, clean, and welcoming after the brutal blast of the north winds chilled us to the bone.
Like someone else said, the pictures don't do it justice. Because I was there 10 days, I got into a routine of sorts. Almost every morning, I would wake up, grab a cup of coffee, and sit and watch the giant snowflakes coming down through the numerous French doors from "my" gray chair. What a view.
On other mornings, my daughter and I would walk to the quaint and charming shops on N. Milwaukee and grab breakfast at any one of the many really good restaurants. Ross gave lots of suggestions and we ate at many of the recommended spots.
At the end of the 10 days, I was very reluctant to leave. Ross's penthouse had become a home away from home. I will definitely be back.
