We REALLY REALLY loved this place -- it was roomy, comfortable, very clean and nicely decorated. It's exactly as pictured. Our family enjoyed meals and playing games at the big table, and we enjoyed morning coffee and evening glass of wine on the upper deck. I can't say enough about this location -- we walked EVERYWHERE: to Lincoln Park Zoo, lakefront, Wrigley Field, and all sorts of restaurants and more! DePaul's beautiful campus is a block away. Street parking is abundant -- we had no issues parking at any time during our stay. Val and Florin were fantastic hosts - very responsive when we had questions and warm, welcoming hosts! Chicago is such a great city, and we loved having this home as our home base while we explored it all!
