We booked this property for a group/family trip to visit our daughter and her fiance for the holiday weekend in Nov. It was a perfect location near our daughters apartment in Lincoln Park. Check in/out was a breeze. We were a group of 12 and there were good sleeping options for everyone in the group. There are good common areas in the house for people to gather and visit. The kitchen has the bare essentials for cooking but large pots and pans are not included. As a group of 12 we managed just fine with what was provided. Bath towels are provided but not wash clothes (not sure why) so if you need a wash cloth throw one in your suitcase. We did borrow a few extra blankets from my daughters apartment for those in the group that felt they needed more than just the comforter provided. There is a Starbucks across the street which was perfect for morning coffee runs. All in all this property worked perfectly for our trip and I would recommend it for a large group looking for a home base to experience everything Chicago has to offer.
