This kind host and well-appointed home-away-from-home helped us have a top 10 family reunion vacation.We accessed Chicago's best from here. Our group of 13 needed space to make meals and eat together, play gamesand have separate bedrooms. We couldn't believe our luck when we found this home within walking distance of Lake Michigan, transit and local restaurants. We were delighted by the amount of space, the smart functional layouts of each room, the quality of the furnishings and (for me) the décor and history of the home. It is hard to please 13 people, but we were ALL pleased. In the kitchen, we had all the tools we needed for cooking and serving, and they were good quality. Teflon pans in great condition, good knives, full sets of dishes and glasses, large refrigerator, gas range. The dining table had cloth covered chairs and generous seating. The huge living connected to a charming sunroom featuring two high-top tables, allowing everyone to find favorite spots for eating, conversation or games. The bedding was high quality with comfy sheets and pillows. The laundry room provided space for families to keep up with their wash in newer appliances that worked great. The rooftop provided another great gathering space. It's where we had morning yoga! On the 4th of July, we avoided the crowds and had our own rooftop BBQ. Home and garden decorating details such floral arrangements and giant hostas were icing on the cake for me. Will, our host was incredibly responsive throughout.
