While just across the expressway it's not the ideal location but if you are looking for a place to stay not too far from some of the higher cost Chicago neighborhoods like Wrigleyville this is a gem. You will definitely save enough verses the higher costs of hotels and Airbnb spaces to take Lyft or Uber there is free street parking which was never hard to find and honestly if it's a nice day the walk to Wrigley Field or Lincoln Park is just a little over an hour. Patrick is a kind and cool host who was 100% accommodating to the few requests I had. I've already booked Patrick's space for my next visit to Chicago!
