I'm quite a regular on Air B&B and this was definitely out of the ordinary. It's a really smashing place and strikingly well-equipped and everything was really good quality (including great bathroom toiletries!)And we really appreciated the range of guidebooks available.

It's exceptionally well-connected: just around the corner from the Blue Line which runs from O'Hare airport and on into the Loop; and a very efficient bus over to Lakeside. There are lots of good restaurants nearby (we particularly liked the Chicago Diner and, for an amazing breakfast, Lula Cafe on Logan Square).

Danielle couldn't have been more helpful; our arrival – always the most unnerving part – couldn't have been more straightforward. I really recommend it for getting a real neighbourhood feel of Chicago – while still within 15 minutes of downtown.
