Arturo’s place is in the really cool and fun neighborhood of Pilsen. I would highly recommend staying here if you want to experience a more real Chicago neighborhood. My husband and I grew up in the Chicago area and this neighborhood feels very nostalgic to us. You will get a lot closer to what it feels like to be a local living in a real neighborhood here than you would in some of the more well known tourist areas.
There is so much great food around all hours of the day. It’s also walking distance to Thalia Hall which is an excellent place to catch live music.
Arturo was great at communicating with us and gave great directions on where to find parking in the neighborhood. Which ended up being really easy and free (unheard of in many places in Chicago).
The apartment is clean, very open and spacious. The decor is simple but functional. It had everything we needed for our stay. It also has a huge bonus of being pet friendly.
