We loved how quiet and residential this turn of the century home was. It was super close to the Red Line as well as to a variety of wonderful restaurants - including Tweet (an amazing breakfast place) and a bunch of great Asian places. We had a little trouble finding parking when we first arrived, but once we had a spot, it was easy to leave the car there for the weekend and get around with public transportation. Amy's son was really helpful and both were super friendly. A great home base for exploring Chicago!
