Great location! We came over Thanksgiving so it was a little cold to walk but if you go during nice weather you could walk to Target within 15 min. Easily 20 min drive downtown to do the tourist things and 30 mins to Ohare airport. Walkable to a train line in about 10 min.
We rented a van and we weren't aware how small the city garages are. We were actually not able to fit our Van in unless we moved some things around in the garage, so keep that in mind. Also this is not the propertie's fault but other drivers do park in the driveway which can be an annoyance.
The home itself is perfectly situated for families and is quite comfortable. It has everything you need for a visit to Chicago and the host is very responsive and kind. It was very convenient to have a washer and dryer and also the spare room downstairs to hang out in. Great water pressure, toys for kids, clean linens, cozy! I can see us coming back!
