This place was perfect for a family gathering of grandparents, kids and grandkids. It provided ample space for toddlers to run around, parents to hang out after kiddos went to bed, and large table for meals. The townhouse is well made and sounds between rooms were minimal. The location is perfect for getting to the museums and downtown. It is a block away from the bus stop and a short walk to a large grocery store. The close access to the lakewalk was perfect for morning walks. The host was very helpful and communicative. All minor problems were dealt with promptly. I would recommend for any large family looking to have a home base to visit Chicago.
