  Jo was lovely, very happy to help me figure out where to go and how to get there. House is in a state of comfortable clutter, a short walk from a bus stop, nearest to the Brown line train, which is a nice walk as long as you're not carrying a lot of luggage. The only problem is that the brown line isn't a 24/h train so if you are looking for a late night out then have money ready for a cab or something. The family was nice and the pets were lovely, and kept mostly to themselves.

The wireless internet worked seamlessly. It's a nice neighborhood, with nearby parks (Eugene Field & Samuel Gompers) and the Bohemian National Cemetery. I found a delightful family-run Korean restaurant two blocks down, on Foster Ave.

  Friendly and hospitable; the dogs are pretty laid-back. The real star of the show, however, is the neighborhood- one of these picture-perfect middle-class bungalow wards that dot the outer edges of Chicago. A fairly long walk from the Brown Line subway, or a very short bus ride.
