If you’re from out of town and ever wondered what the houses in some of Chicago’s historic neighborhoods are like, this might be one of the best places to check out.
My family (all 6 of us) stayed in Carolina’s AirBnB this past weekend and had an amazing time in the city. The home comfortably fit all of us. It’s very literally RIGHT BEHIND Wrigley and the Red Line, in the heart of Wrigleyville. The house is huge, very antique-y (which is a great bonus if you’re into that stuff like we are) and simply makes for an incredibly unique housing experience. It doesn’t have the most modern fixings - big smart TVs with cable, central AC are both missing - but it has plenty of space to relax, all the outlets you need, WiFi, and a charm I don’t think you can get in many other places here.
Beyond the house itself, getting to enjoy some early morning coffee outside on the porch, while Cubs’ fans made their way to the stadium became another great routine during our stay. The super sweet host brings continental breakfast items each morning - some fresh bread, butter, jam, etc, and that was a great start before going downtown too.
There’s a huge variety of homes and lodging options on AirBnB in Chicago. If looking at the pictures (which at the time of our stay do not do this beautiful place justice) interest you even a little bit, you should absolutely give it a shot. Great communication and hosting, insanely easy access to the Red Line/Wrigley, all in a very unique, very Chicago home makes this one of the most memorable places I’ve stayed.
We’ll be back! :)
