All the reviews ring true: Vanessa & Charlie’s place is a great place to stay while in Chicago. The kitchen has basic utensils that came in handy for left-over nights and the bathroom was stocked with extra towels and amenities. Bedrooms were a decent size and we didn’t mind the narrowness of the rooms. As this is the basement, there might be consistent noise from upstairs. We were so tired every day that even if we were woken up, we fell back to sleep quickly because the beds were so comfortable.
