Whit's place is a beautiful well appointed apartment. It's located in very cool Old Town district and has fabulous bars and eateries just round the corner - just far enough off the main drag not to be noisy late at night but still only a couple of minutes back. It does have some city noise, but hey, that's Chicago, not the countryside for you. Chicago and especially Old Town have a great vibe. And Whit's place is close enough to The Magnificent Mile to be a great stroll in.
Whit is a terrific host and his apartment will be our first choice on our next visit.
