We are so happy we chose to stay at the urban farm for our Chicago visit! We were greeted like old friends; the lovely apartment was full of little extra touches (flowers, chocolate, a welcome card) that added to the feeling, and it was just a nice place to be. Our daughter had instant playmates, which also is fab on a vacation :-) The area doesn't have much to offer as far as shops and restaurants go, but it is close to the L and an easy ride into town, as described. Thank you for being such great hosts!
