The Bucktown coach house was a private, relaxing, and stylish spot in the middle of one of the coolest neighborhoods in Chicago. The area was relatively quiet, and the coach house is tucked away off the main road with a lovely patio and outdoor sitting space to enjoy if you don't feel like being in a crowd. Just a short walk away are some really awesome restaurants, bars, shopping, and personal care locations so definitely get out an explore. There's also one of those short-term bike rental kiosks down the street as well. Uber drivers are always around, so getting a ride into the city is easy if you want to go.
Check-in was a breeze, he sent photographic instructions to help you know exactly what to do, and there's a tablet in the kitchen that provides fun tips and additional assistance if you need it.
The apartment itself is spacious and well-appointed with a full kitchen, two bedrooms, comfy beds, fresh linens, living room, laundry room, and a nice sized bathroom. The wooden floors squeak a bit but that's only to be expected in historic homes and it's not a huge deal (though downstairs neighbors might think otherwise haha).
The living room has a small couch and wooden chair, so if you have a large group coming you might have a hard time sitting in the room at the same time - but the TV was a good size and has Netflix and an amazon fire stick.
Chris was a responsive and thoughtful host - we would definitely stay here again if we come back to Chicago!
