Paula's place is a beautiful, cozy oasis on one of Chicago's loveliest and most historic streets. The well-decorated room (full of terrific books) faces the street, yet is very quiet with good blinds. The bathroom is up to date and spacious. Paula is a wonderful host and offers the use of her lovely kitchen and patio upstairs. She is always quick to respond and absolutely full of wonderful suggestions about where to go and how to get around in the city. (She left an umbrella outside the room when the forecast called for rain!) The Uptown neighborhood is fairly far north but very easily accessible by the nearby Red Line El (also serving Lincoln Park, Wrigley Field, Rogers Park, Evanston) and there's an express bus to the Loop right around the corner. Andersonville is a close walk. My daughter and I couldn't have been happier staying at Paula's.
