Wicker Park is a great area. This is the second time we stayed at this location and we were nearly as happy as the first time. The best thing about the location of this residence is its proximity to the Damen Blue Line CTA with which we were just 10-12 minutes away from the splendor of downtown Chicago. There are some excellent breakfast places around (we particularly liked Americano 2211). Convenience stores such as Walgreens, by the Damen Blue line and Go Grocer were open even on Christmas eve and all of Christmas day (and night). This proved to be very useful. There was ample street parking available and the location seemed really safe. We definitely would return. Thanks to the host for his efficiency and timely manner in which he communicated (almost near instantaneous) with us.
