John's place is awesome. It is on a quiet street in Old Town, walkable to the Brown line (Sedgwick stop), Twin Anchors (for ribs), Bars and restaurants on Lincoln and Armitage, and super close to North Ave. Beach (about a mile walk) and the Lincoln Park zoo. My husband and our 2 boys ages 8 and 11 stayed 4 nights and it was a perfect location for us. There is a cute park 2 blocks down and Oz park is about 4 blocks down. We ordered in from Marcello's one night for dinner and it was great! Street parking is easy and no permit is required. We felt like locals in this beautiful neighborhood. John is super friendly and lives right in the back if you need anything. This is truly a hidden gem! Very Comfortable and the air conditioning worked awesome!! Ceiling fans in almost every room make it super comfortable temperature wise...loved the back deck for coffee in the am and loved having St. Michaels church so close and to hear it's bells. Such a great and memorable stay!
