Heather’s place was great for our family with young children. We made use of the provided stroller and pack and play. Appreciated having the high chair, but we never used it because there are so many restaurants near this place. Seriously, we live in a walkable paradise in Long Beach, but this is on another level. Do not miss the Empanada place a few blocks away, multiple brunch and bar options, or the Lincoln Park zoo, which is super close and great for kids. It’s a walk to the L train but still pretty convenient for going to Wrigley or Millenium Park (the Bean and a huge playground). Walkable to Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s.
The building is a little dated and the stairs and floor boards creak quite a bit, but the hot water was great, beds were just what we needed, and the kitchen was equipped perfectly for us. Each room had a window AC which kept the place very comfortable. The parking map was very well done and we found free overnight parking right in front of the building for both nights of our stay. We will definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit Chicago!
