The house was great although a lot of windows don’t have curtains. You can see through the entire house just by looking through the front door. The area of the house is nice.

Chicago holidays

We had a lovely stay with our relatives from Canada. The frank Lloyd wrightuseum was well worth it.I never could find the check in information on VRBO. That was probably my own ineptitude. The host messaged me right away and were super helpful.
