I cannot say enough good things about Gerard and Ernie's place. It's in a great location with plenty of restaurants around, very close to the "L." The home itself is very charming and just as advertised. Gerard and Ernie are excellent hosts. They always have suggestions on things to do. It was great getting to know them. Every morning I would sit in the dining room and sip a cup of coffee, just discussing what was planned for the day. They would always make sure I had a packed schedule and knew of several events in the area. Speaking of coffee... I am convinced that Gerard makes the best coffee in the city. I will definitely stay with them on my next visit to Chicago.
