This light and airy basement property (plenty of big windows) is really great and provides everything that a group of travellers would want for a trip to Chicago. There are buses/trains/taxis/walking options to get around (car parking stations close by), local shops and restaurants all in easy walking distance. You are close to Wrigley Field (we attended a Cubs baseball game!), many beautiful parks, free (kids) zoo, miles of beaches, tonnes of marinas, you really are spoilt for recreation choices. We went in early Summer and took the architecture boat cruise which was great, as was the John Hancock 96th floor cocktail bar, fantastic 360 degree views both day and night (there was also a restaurant on the 95th floor if you have deeper pockets). Our hosts Eric and Beth are super welcoming and if you are arriving on a Wednesday and like to socialise you may even get an invite to the happy hour! They were also just completing renovations on their Coach House which will accommodate 6 guests, so they ca now cater for up to 10 in both airbnb properties at the same location. We cannot recommend this (and their new Coach House) property too highly.
