My wife and I absolutely loved Marie & Barbara's spot. The location is perfect... just the right distance from downtown with its own hustle and bustle. It was an extremely easy and friendly check-in. It was a birthday trip for us, and they surprised us with a pair of custom donuts! The space was private and clean, and we loved the decor. A very cool vibe. There was a great list of recommendations from the hosts as well. We had a blast during our first trip to Chicago, and the stay at Marie & Barbara's made it even more special. Hopefully we will be back... lots more to explore, especially around Andersonville.
