I took my mother to Chicago with me for a weekend getaway. I knew she would enjoy staying in this room with me. The room is even bigger than it shows on the photos and the two of us had plenty of space. I planned to give her the bed and take the futon but as soon as she lay down in the futon, she claimed it...I did try it too and it was very comfortable. So was the bed. Maureen and James were out of town for the weekend so we did not get to meet them, but they made sure we had everything we needed. The house and room are in great shape and very beautiful. You can tell they take pride in where they live. The neighborhood was great...and the houses there are beautiful! Only a few minute walk from the blue line, which my mother and I used quite frequently to get into downtown....also it was convenient from Union Station (we arrived by train) and to O'Hare (we departed by plane). We could not have asked for anything better or more in a place over the weekend...except maybe getting to meet Maureen and James because they seem like really cool people!
