The location of this house in Uptown is great as there are plenty of great local things to do in Uptown and lots of good restaurants. The CTA station is only 2 blocks from the house so it's easy to get into the city. Thomas' house is full of character and art and is a lovely quiet location to return to at the end of the day. Thomas goes out of his way to make you feel welcome to to see that you have all that you need. We come to Chicago a couple of times a year and we will make this our home base there.
