Gabrielle's place is a perfect local spot for Chicago exploring. The space is comfortable, stylish, and well stocked with the essentials. She was even kind enough to place creamer, juice, and some snacks in the mini kitchen for guests. The apartment is in a beautiful home in a super cute neighborhood. It is easily walk able to a grocery store, a few restaurants and cafes, and a blue line Metro stop. It's about a 20 min ride into Downtown Chicago via the Blue Line, which gives you pretty quick access to the major tourist attractions and things to do. Definitely bike on the 606, check out 90 Miles Cuban Cafe, and grab a cup of coffee at Ipsento while you are in Gabrielle's neighborhood. The Chicago Mural is only about a 20 min walk away as well :) You won't regret staying here if you are looking for the local experience.
