The townhouse was the perfect location for our weekend in Chicago. We went to a ballgame at Wrigley and downtown to a museum. The ability to walk out the door and get right onto the L made everything so easy. Marcus and Susan were great hosts and very communicative.
In addition, we eat every breakfast and dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. I really wish we had been staying in town longer because there were several more restaurants we wanted to try. There were also both a drug store and a grocery store within a couple of blocks so this really is a great neighborhood to get around in on foot.
People have had different opinions about the noise from the train tracks next to the townhouse. When we arrived it was rush hour on Friday, trains were passing frequently, and the noise level was high enough that it did interfere with conversation sometimes. Once the trains switched to the weekend schedule the trains were far less frequent. Overall it didn't bother us since we were out most of the time. I would stay again for access to the neighborhood and the L.
