Susan's place is delightful -- comfortable, welcoming and convenient. It served as an excellent base for our family of two adults and two teenagers to explore Chicago. We really only slept and ate breakfast there, and spent the rest of the time being tourists. On foot, the neighborhood is lovely and has plenty of cafes and restaurants; in retrospect, we're very glad to have stayed there instead of at a hotel. The train station is a moderate walking distance for bigger kids and grown-ups. And parking was easy, which was important since we'd driven from out of state. Susan and Tim are excellent hosts, very responsive and attentive. We recommend it!
