We were able to ring in the New Year's in Chicago by staying in the Cozy Coach House, it was wonderful and very convenient!
Scott was such a gracious host. He offered (and did) pick us up and drop us off at the train station on our travel days in and out of Chicago - he also showed us the ropes of the house and made the stay feel like a home away from home.
Everything you'll need is conveniently located in the home. This house couldn't have been in a better central location for all your Chicago needs! Public transportation (Red Line) was only .5 miles away - the 22 bus came in handy (right around the corner).
- We basically ate our way through the city. You must check out M.Henry's for a life changing breakfast (Alexander's, right down the street is great too!). For deep dish head over to Lou Mintalis and then Intelligentsia for a great cup of coffee.
- If you're planning on checking out all the museums get a CityPass! It paid for itself after the first 2 museums we visited - you'll get priority access and extras. The Loop was a saviour in terms of getting to and from places near The Bean - really easy to navigate.
- Be sure to check out the guest book left in the Coach House. We provided 3+ pages worth of notes, guides, to-dos and tips to have a fantastic and budget friendly trip in Chicago.
