Seriously, we had a great time on our recent stay at Tara's place. We arrived late at night and the instructions to get in could not have been clearer and easier, a relief after a long day. Exhausted, we fell into one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in at an Airbnb or hotel. The memory foam mattress rivaled the premium one we sleep on at home. The first morning I ventured out early to find coffee. There are several choices, both the big corporate chains and locally owned shops, within a few minutes walk either direction. Tara's not kidding about "Steps to Wrigley Field". I stumbled on it just a few blocks down the street. For baseball fans, this would be a perfect place. Not only is it close to Wrigley, it's also walkable to the charming Southport/Lakeview area. It's about a 15 minute drive/Uber to the Art Institute.
The space itself is roomy and comfy. It's tucked at the back of the building so it's off the street and nice and quiet. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready to cook. The bathroom is typically small of these older buildings meaning you'll be taking turns but the shower is delightfully tall (at 6'2" I often stare shower heads at eye level while they spray down on my chest) and pressure and temperature were great.
Tara was responsive to communications, helpful and very gracious. We'll be booking this place again on our periodic trips to Chicago.
