Wow. I was looking for a home base in Chicago for the week that I was there (on business) and I hit gold here! Lois and Eduardo have a comfortable, easy going, happy home that accommodates whatever you've got going. It's a few blocks from the EL, and although it takes about 25 mins to get into downtown Chicago, it's safe, clean and a short walk to Lake Michigan. Stay here. It'll make even the most nervous city visitors feel glad to be in Chicago.
