This was my our 1st trip to Chicago (my spouse, 10 year old and myself); we spent a total of 7 days here. The main reason for our trip was to catch 3 Chicago Cubs games at Wrigley. The location was perfect, a short 8 minute walk to the field. Our decision to stay here was based on the distance to Wrigley, price, and previous reviews from guests. I wasn't sure what to expect since the place looks small online (it's a basement apartment) however, we were completely blown away once we checked in. The place has everything you need, from towels, a basket with some toiletry essentials you might have forgotten, to snacks/drinks. The size wasn't a deal breaker to us because really, we were just there to shower and sleep. Beds a great, pillows could be firmer-but that's personal preference. Stephen and Cheryl were amazing hosts!! Once we arrived we noticed the place didn't have an iron, I sent them a message asking if we could borrow one. Well, as soon as we got back that night from exploring the city...they had ordered an iron specifically for the room! The place does not have an A/C unit, it wasn't hot but we are used to sleeping in a cold area, we asked Stephen if he could provide us with fans for the room. He provided us with 3 fans which made the temperature in the room perfect! You can hear people walking upstairs (or a dog running, lol) but we weren't in the room enough for it to be a bother to us. We rarley heard any noises at night, but if you're a light sleeper like I am, they also provide some ear plugs.
My sister-in-law was going to be staying with us for 2 nights, I explained to Stephen the situation and he graciously added a air mattress for her to use.
I really recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Chicago! We will defenitly be recommend this to our family and friends and will be staying here for our next Chicago trip.
