We stayed with Killian this May and felt very much at home the entire week. Our room was spacious and the bed was super, we had everything we needed! As a native Chicagoan I especially valued the location...close to Lake Michigan ( 5-10 minute walk ) and buses and trains in both directions. You're downtown in half an hour ! Killian is a wonderful host and we enjoyed having coffee with her on the back porch, her cats checked us out and Stanley (lovable guy) was great company. So, in short...the next time we are in "Sweet Home Chicago" we will stay with her again.
