I really enjoyed how close we were to all the attractions that we wanted to see. Navy pier, Adler Planetarium, field museum, Lincoln park zoo, art museum. We did drive to each though everything was accessible via the city bus from this location. We ended up using the spothero app to find cheaper parking for each place we went, (definitely a must if you plan on driving yourself) we just found with a group of 5 it was cheaper to use spot hero and drive than to uber(but if you have 4 or fewer in your group the rates are roughly 10-15$ per uber trip) (or they were when we looked them up) with the gated private parking we felt perfectly safe the entire time. The host was easy to talk to and get ahold of when we needed him. All in all, a good trip to the Windy City. The home was clean (loved the GIANT tv in the downstairs) for future travelers, definitely a spot to check out, the people we encountered as we were coming and going seemed fairly friendly and normal.
