Kanan's house is in a great location, very easy to get to and very convenient for exploring Downtown Chicago. Parking was our greatest challenge. If spots are available out front, it is very convenient, even free all weekend. But that wasn't the case for us. After driving around in circles endlessly, Kanan actually rode around with us, helping us navigate the chaos until we finally found a spot. She was most patient and helpful. Despite our best efforts, though, we still got a ticket. We appealed it to the City of Chicago and are waiting to hear the outcome. We recommend you set up an account with parkchicago.com and familiarize yourself with some of the rules before going to Chicago. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and would stay again!
