Raymond’s place in Old Town is perfect for a trip to Chicago. It’s a beautiful, clean, well appointed home that is a 20 min walk to the shore, 10 min walk to great food, and 10-15 min walk to public transport. I would not recommend driving in city. The kids ride their scooters and we walked. Parking is expensive. Our kids were very comfortable on the blowup mattress and futon couch in 2nd bedroom. The queen bed was very comfortable and we slept great. The noises of the city can be heard in the home but I sleep with earplugs so it wasn’t a problem. Raymond checked on us a few times to ensure our stay was good and asked if we needed anything. We had a wonderful times in Chicago and would definitely stay at Raymond’s again.
