I can't recommend staying at Cathy's place high enough. A super nice home with great, homey accommodations, the nicest kitchen you'll ever find in an Airbnb host's home, a playful dog named Scorch, and without a doubt a superb location. You are literally within walking distance of Wrigley Field, knocking at the door of Boystown, and a short walk to the Belmont CTA station, where THREE lines stop. Major bus lines that go down Belmont, Halsted, and Clark are within 2-3 blocks. You can get to the loop in about 15 minutes, or head north just as easily. Lake View East is a super nice neighborhood. If you are thinking of staying in Chicago, this would be the place to stay. Totally worth it.
