We had a busy three days planned in Chicago that included meeting family and attending multiple events. I searched for a location that would provide a convenient starting point each day so we wouldn't have a lot of delays even during rush hour. We took the Amtrak from central Iowa then caught the CTA Brown Line near Union Station to Southport which is just a short walk from Kelly's place. It was so nice to have such a comfortable place waiting after a long day of traveling. We made a quick trip to Whole Foods which is right around the corner then settled in for the evening. You can easily access both the CTA Red and the Brown lines with a short walk from Kelly's place. Te very lively Southport and Belmont streets where the CTA Stations are located have excellent places to dine and shop. The residential neighborhood around Kelly's Place is very quiet, extremely safe and full of friendly people you'll see out walking with their kids and their dogs. Kelly's Place is even better than the pictures indicate and we were able to get some much needed rest there during our busy three days. The bed is very comfortable I especially enjoyed just relaxing on the couch while catching up on the news and sports. The thermostat on the AC/Heater is very user friendly and easily adjusted. Kelly's place has it's own hot water heater so there was never a shortage. The toaster oven makes some great toast in the morning to go with your coffee while sitting on the red bench in the front yard. Kelly has a unique lock system that she'll program with a numerical code that you select before arrival. There is no need to worry about finding your key in the dark or losing it somewhere. The WiFi works great and is fast. We would highly recommend Kelly's Place for it's convenient location, peaceful and comfortable setting. We won't hesitate to reserve it again and suggest you reserve early.
