As a former native of Chicago, I know where I want to go when I come to town and Wicker Park is a great base from which to embark. Close to the blue line to get you to O’Hare or straight downtown where you can switch up trains and go North or South.
What I didn’t realize is that within one block walking distance on the north end of Walsh Park is the 606, an abandoned train track converted into a spacious walking/biking trail to get around Wicker Park to Logan Square avoiding all the hustle below. Very safe and offers a different vantage point to find hidden gems and just a great community feel up there.
Bianca’s place is cozy and quiet even though it’s one block from the Kennedy Expressway, which is also handy to get outer destinations quickly by car.
Their is plenty of privacy in this 2 bedroom/1 bathroom unit with two twin beds in front room for extra people. Everything you need is available in kitchen: stove, micro, coffee pot and filters plus a full size fridge/freezer for purchases from best grocery in town: Whole Foods just blocks away off North Ave.
Check in is easy, just read directions and you’ll love not having to deal with locked gates, elevators, or other such nuisances. Stair case up is a bit steep, but it’s just one flight of approx 15 carpeted steps. (Only mention that for those who don’t normally lift stuff or have mobility issues. )
Lastly, I will be returning because Bianca is a conscientious host. Great communication from start to finish. This is a great place at a fair price offered by a host with integrity. Do not hesitate to book this ( just make sure you leave me room to return!)
