We had a great stay at John's place. The location was excellent, very close to the L, Wrigley and lots of restaurants and shops, including a grocery store. The neighborhood was beautiful, lots of people walking their dogs! You can hear the L but it didn't interfere with our stay at all, it is barely noticeable after awhile. Check in was easy. We would recommend this place for a family, for sure! A personal recommendation: Do Rite donuts by Wrigley has an amazing blueberry crumb donut that is worth the 10 minute walk. I had two:).
