The Grotto was the perfect place to stay during our summer getaway. Despite the Chicago heat, we were always comfortable in the air conditioned apartment. Ben & Karen were so accommodating- letting us drop off luggage early and quickly addressing anything we asked about. My friend slept on the bed and I slept on the couch - both were comfortable. There was also a mini fridge, keurig, kettle and microwave for simple meals at the Airbnb.
The Grotto is in a very convenient location - walkable distance from the Blue line and buses. It was really easy to use transit to get around Chicago. There are also great restaurants and cafes nearby for meals: I recommend Same Day Cafe and Lula Cafe for breakfast. Longman & Eagle has delicious dinner and cocktails. Overall, my friend and I had a lovely stay in Chicago and would definitely here again.
