The Ravenswood Guest House is terrific. A beautiful space, fully-outfitted kitchen, quiet, private, extremely comfortable, it's the nicest place I've stayed in Chicago--and I've stayed in many places in Chicago. The Edgewater/Andersonville offers a ton of excellent restaurants and coffee shops. There's easy access to public transportation--an all-night bus and the El system--and you're in downtown in no time at all. The garden outside the Guest House window makes you feel like you've retreated at night to the countryside. This is simply a very nice place to say, and I'll be back again.
