My husband, infant daughter and I used John's place as our home base during our week long visit to Chicago. The location is AWESOME! In a picturesque neighbourhood with a short walk to two train stations, many bus lines, as well as several restaurants and shops. We walked to Lincoln Park and even to Magnificent Mile one day (an hour leisurely walk). The place is spacious and clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Parking was fairly easy to find within a block or two of the place. I highly recommend it!!!!
