I recently enjoyed a wonderful business trip to Chicago and stayed at Anne's lovely home for 3 nights. She welcomed me warmly in the midst of a Halloween snowstorm and proceeded to make me feel completely at home. She lives in a graceful historical house with many interesting architectural details, loads of natural light in the common rooms, and a wide front porch looking out onto the street. My room was cozy, comfortable, and completely private with its own bathroom just down the hall. Her neighborhood of similar homes is quiet, and situated just one block from numerous restaurants, bus service and the "L" train. Anne provided me with an extensive list of restaurants to try, sights to visit, and transportation information (plus a walking map). I look forward to traveling to Chicago again and will make a point of staying with Anne. She was the perfect host, in a lovely home, in a great neighborhood!
