We were a group of eight friends meeting in Evanston for our 30th college reunion - and could not have wished for a better location, property, host and all the little extras that made the stay memorable.LOCATION: walking distance to campus, downtown Evanston for shopping, and other restaurants even closer. On-street parking very easy with provided passes. PROPERTY: Huge, three-level home with more than enough sleeping areas for all eight of us to be comfortable. The kitchen is to die for, with every cooking accessory you could want. You can tell the owner truly loves to entertain - there were adorable cups and teaspoons and five different kinds of coffee and pods. Besides the gigantic kitchen (and island that seats 8), there was a full dining room, and multiple cozy seating areas on each floor. More than plenty of dishes, wine glasses, serving bowls, plates, etc. And the nice stuff too -- not the usual rental house fare. I almost forgot the towels! That's how you know an owner takes her hosting role seriously. Real fluffy soft towels - and 8 full sets for all of us. HOST: Incredibly communicative, responded within hours if not sooner, and left us a very thoughtful welcome basket - including purple themed gifts! And - when one of the group left her lipstick behind, she mailed it back. Would absolutely recommend for a group, large family(s), or anyone needing an amazing stay and backdrop in the area.
