We absolutely loved staying in Francesca’s apartment. She graciously rented us the whole space. The neighborhood, Ravenswood, is fun and hip, full of good food, drinks, and shopping; it’s less than two miles walk to the lake. The apartment is lovely, elegant, simple, comfortable, airy. We especially appreciated the sunny bay windows and the gorgeous orchids that Francesca grows. Francesca is a gracious, generous host who communicates so quickly. She was patient with me when I made a payment mistake, too.
If you’re a light sleeper, one thing to note: the train runs by the back door, and the radiators hiss. However, we are both light sleepers used to country quiet, and we still had a lovely night’s sleep on a comfortable bed at the front of the apartment. I truly can’t recommend Francesca’s place highly enough. Thank you for trusting us with your home!
