Karen's apartment was everything I hoped for - very calm, very quiet, full of light, beautifully decorated with a lot of interesting touches. Any time I had a question or concern Karen was there to help me but she was never intrusive. I had my privacy but I also knew that a friendly smile was waiting for me just downstairs, plus a lot of attention from her two lovely dogs. I truly felt this was my home for the two months I was there. The location was perfect, as well, close to the Red Line train that takes you everywhere you want to go. I enjoyed myself so much I am planning a return trip in October for an extended stay. Thank you, Karen, for making my first long visit to Chicago so comfortable!
