This was a overall a fantastic trip, especially thanks to The Loft. The condo is spacious, clean, and in a fantastic location. You’re just a block from the Red Line, which makes getting around the city fairly easy. You’re just down the street from Wrigleyville, where you can find tons of bars and restaurants (including our favorite, Dimo’s Pizza). You might worry that being so close to so many bars means that you’re constantly hearing the foot traffic BUT you barely hear the street at all (aside from the occasional horns or siren that you can’t escape when visiting Chicago). The hosts kept the space clean, their instructions were clear and easy to follow, and they were very easy to get in touch with throughout our stay. The cost was similar to staying in a hotel in the area, but you get a large kitchen and living space and more privacy for hardly any extra costs. The only fault was the stairs, they are tall and narrow, I would worry about them if I had difficulties navigating stairs.
