Elaine was very prompt in answering texts and email. Her house is in an excellent location. There are restaurants nearby : sushi, vietnamese, hot dog, and a bagel store. About 10-15 min walking from St Charles car stop (5-6 blocks). It was very quiet as well. I am a light sleeper and I had no problems with noise there whatsoever. The house has all the amenities that you can think of. She even has water and juices inside the refrigerator. We also got an assigned parking spot, which is great! Thank you Elaine for hosting and sharing your house!
