We stayed at Carolynn's from June 10 to June 17, 2018.
Our stay in her lovely home was great.
Carolynn and her husband welcomed us warmly. They were available when we needed them, but otherwise gave us complete autonomy. They were also very helpful in providing information on what to visit. Additionally, Carolynn had provided some food items for us to get through our first morning after our arrival from the airport. She and her husband even let us use a spot in their garage.
In terms of accommodation, the apartment is clean, well maintained, well decorated and in a peaceful neighborhood. Its location is ideal, as it is only a few minutes away from several grocery stores and coffee shops. Public transportation is accessible close by, but it took us, on average 30-40min to get to downtown Chicago by car, which is quite reasonable. The kitchen is well equipped and very functional. The beds are comfortable and both bedrooms have an AC unit, which is convenient for days of warm weather.
Overall, we were very happy of our stay at Carolynn's. If we come back to Chicago, we hope to be able to stay there again.
