Our party of four booked David's place originally due to it's closeness to Wrigley Stadium. His communication was great and we were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful restaurants within walking distance. We had rented a car but quickly realized it wasn't needed but the fact there was a designated off street parking spot was certainly a big plus! Let me say the closest train station was about 3/4 of a mile but there is a bus stop close to the house and you can purchase a pass that is good for both and we found it much better than driving if you want to explore downtown/Navy Pier. We had everything we needed for a long weekend trip - plenty of clean towels, hair dryer, iron plus there was coffee, cream & sugar for the coffee maker! It was our first time to Chicago - we would love to come back and would not hesitate to stay here again. Oh lastly, we are dog lovers and were excited to get to see the pups from upstairs in the yard one afternoon. Very friendly and playful.
