Gretjen and Nick are the perfect hosts! They have been extraordinarily welcome, warm, and supportive. I've truly felt at home at their place and taken in by family. I've stayed at their place for about three months, and I always felt comfortable and appreciated.
The room is exactly as described, tastefully furnished and decorated (just as the rest of the apartment), and super comfy! The windows let on plenty of natural light, which I appreciated a lot. When it got cold outside, an extra space heater was very helpful.
The neighborhood is lovely (and safe!). Franklin Park is a five minute walk, the Arboretum about 15 min, and both are wonderful for taking a Saturday afternoon stroll. Public transport is easy to reach (maybe a 7 min walk), and a busy street with all kinds of shops and restaurants is pretty close too.
Overall, big recommendation! Thank you, Gretjen and Nick!
