A lot of positives about this place. It is spacious and was very comfortable for 5 adults and my 5-year-old daughter. Parking on the street with the provided permits was simple and plentiful. It's perfectly located in terms of it's proximity to major thoroughfares, but tucked away on a residential street. It was really nice to wake up every morning and walk to one of the many coffee shops. This was a return to Chicago for our family and, in many ways, we felt right at home.
I want to point out that the listing is very transparent about the noise caused from the train. I am not accusing them of glossing over this at all. And many reviewers have expressed that they were able to get used to it over their stay. Unfortunately, for my wife and I, we really didn't get a good night's sleep while we were there. We stayed in the bedroom on the main floor in the back nearest the kitchen and the train, and our bedroom would vibrate with each passing train. It's worth pointing out that my daughter slept fine in her kids' room and the rest of my family slept fine downstairs. So perhaps it is just this one bedroom that poses a problem. However, it's worth mentioning in case you are a light sleeper then perhaps this place isn't for you.
The group that runs this place is incredibly professional, communicative, and made check-out and check-in very easy. We are appreciative for the stay despite the train noise.
