Scott's place is a wonderful place from which to explore Chicago, without being downtown. Several good restaurants within walking distance. Whole Foods or Aldi grocery also within walking distance if you want to cook or have snacks on hand in the coach house. Scott's place is well appointed and many essential's are available for your use, including a hairdryer. There are DIVY bike rental spots nearby and the beginning of the lakefront is just a mile or so from Scott's place. We were able to get downtown by bus or train in 30 minutes. And only 30 minute car ride from O'Hare.
Being a lite sleeper I was glad to have brought my eye mask due to the amount of light that comes into the coach house at night from outside. The mattress was super comfortable and all was quiet for good sleeping.
Would recommend this as a top place to stay when visiting the Chicago/Edgewater/Loyola/Andersonville, etc area's.
