Bigger and better than I expected.
I'm familiar with housing options at Starved Rock and this was quiet, private, clean, spacious, conveniently located and kept in good condition. The outfitted kitchen worked nicely and our host welcomed us with the Ring Door Bell when we were figuring out the lock. Very nice place that I would reserve again.
