If you are about "location, location, location," then this place is the place to be. Nestled within an 8-minute drive into the heart of downtown Chicago lays Amy's top-story loft. Amy is a wonderful host and was very communicative during our stay.
The loft sits on the top floor above the restaurant (which has fantastic brunch, by the way). Narrow spiral stairs up to the third story will greet you upon arrival. Amy's home has all the necessities you need to make your stay comfortable, especially in Chicago. You have a large kitchen with a fridge, stove, and microwave. The washer and dryer are a big plus for more extended stays. And most importantly, the bed was very comfortable.
The home is in an area surrounded by small local restaurants and bars. If you are traveling outside of Chicago and are renting a car, street parking is available but can be hard to find late at night. If you don't have a vehicle, Chicago is a walkable town with one of the best local transit systems. Local transportation is steps away from the entrance, which is very convenient, cheaper, and more manageable than renting a car, finding parking, and paying the heavy toll for parking. Lucky for you, Amy's home is just a short drive away from Chicago's famous monuments.
All in all, I would recommend Amy's home when visiting Chicago for the weekend.
